Synopsis : Border guard Tina is extraordinarily good at spotting smugglers. One day, a suspicious-looking man steps off the ferry. Unable to identify what he’s hiding, she becomes obsessed with him and the disturbing aura he exudes. Her investigation reveals much more than expected, and she is soon forced to confront terrifying revelations about herself and humankind. Reclusive customs officer Tina is gifted with an extraordinary sense of smell. Any passengers trying to smuggle contraband won’t get very far: she can sniff out their fear and anxiety straight off. One day, however, suspicious-looking Vore walks past her and suddenly everything is different. Working with various genres (thriller, romance, fantasy) Abbasi leaves room for the imagination and offers a look at the world of people from the outside in. The question for Tina is whether to stay inside or outside. The filmmaker worked with a short story by John Ajvide Lindqvist, who caught his attention as the author of Let the Right One In. The film was this year’s winner of Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section.
Director Bio : Iranian born Danish director Ali Abbasi who made his debut with the horror film Shelley, selected at Berlin’s Panorama 2016, will attend the world’s most prestigious film festival with his second feature Border (Grans) that he co-wrote with Isabella Eklof, together with novelist John Ajvide Lindqvist (Let the Right One In) from the latter's short story.
