Synopsis

The border between Finland and Russia has been closed since 2024, when Russia began to direct large amounts of asylum seekers to the border. This short film, shot in the border town of Imatra, gives the local population a chance to express their thoughts about the closing and its consequences. People’s reactions range from uncertainty and fear caused by the war to concerns about the decline of local livelihoods and families being torn apart.
