Suspicious of a man crossing the border who is as equally strange as she is, customs officer Tina becomes obsessed with him and unearths secrets that will lead her to question her own identity. Border is an unusual thriller that cleverly fuses elements of film noir, supernatural horror, and romance.
“Nordic noir” Border brings together two prominent names: Ali Abbasi, known for Shelley as the director of the film and John Ajvide Lindqvist, the author of Let the Right One In as the writer of the novel which was adapted into the film.
