Crime thriller about smugglers operating on the lawless pre-E.U. border of Slovakia and Ukraine. Won Peter Bebjak the Best Director Award at Karlovy Vary.
"Moral and territorial lines are closing in on Adam Krajnak, a dedicated family man and boss of a criminal gang smuggling contraband between Ukraine and Slovakia. Times are changing. It’s 2007, and Slovakia’s about to join the European Union. The porous border between his country and Ukraine will soon be the most secure in the Schengen area. Adam refuses to transport drugs but his trusted lieutenant Jona wants a big payday before the good days are gone. Then there’s Adam’s 18 year-old daughter, Lucia, who’s determined to marry a nerdy local boy." (Sydney Film Festival)
