Starring Jalal Altawil, Behi Djanati Atai, Maja Ostaszewska, Tomasz Wlosok, Dalia Naous, Jaśmina Polak, Malwina Buss, Mohamad Al Rashi, Agata Kulesza, Monika Frajczyk.Leave it to Belarus, that eternal hotbed of human rights violations, and specifically to dictator Alexander Lukashenko, to fan the flames of the European migrant crisis, now nearly 10 years on. In 2021, Lukashenko promised to destabilize the European Union by flooding it with migrants.
The film also follows one of the Polish border guards, Jan , a young man with a pregnant wife Kasia and maybe a bit more of a conscience than his fellow patrolmen. As Jan drinks to forget the horrible duties of his work, such as hoisting over the border any dead bodies found in the forest, Kasia tries to offer comfort and support, while pointing out she can identify her husband in activists’ videos uploaded on the internet by his uniform number.
