Border
Why this pick
A quiet Nordic fable with the same compassionate interest in outsiders, bodily otherness, and an intimate bond that gradually unsettles what seems ordinary.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Oskar, a meek 12-year-old boy, resides with his mother Yvonne in the western Stockholm suburb of Blackeberg in 1981 and occasionally visits his father Erik in the countryside. During one such visit to his father, when Oskar and Erik are enjoying a cosy night playing games, a drunken neighbour arrives, and Erik starts to drink heavily with him, breaking up the father/son evening.
