Border
Tina, ostracized for her unusual appearance, uses her unique sense of smell to sniff out contraband as a customs agent for a Danish border control agency. Plagued by social exclusion, Tina becomes accustomed to a life void of excitement and meaning. This changes when the mysterious Vore passes through border security. Vore displays eerily similar physical abnormalities to Tina, yet maintains a confident outward appearance that immediately captivates Tina. The two embark upon an untraditional relationship, granting Tina the confidence she’s desired much of her life. However, when troubling accusations arise against Vore, Tina is forced to question where her allegiances lie. This film was selected as Sweden’s entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards.
