    Brief synopsis

    FRONTIER tells the story about the 19-year-old Aniela (Vanessa Boritzka), who lives with her 54-year-old husband Boguś (Marius Biegai) in a small lumberjack's hut in the war-ravaged Poland of 1941. Boguś' repression gradually takes on violent characteristics, but Aniela's fear of the war binds her to the hut in the forest. One night, the two German soldiers Helmut and Ralf (Jonas Brunstein & Lukas Koller) knock on the door and completely new opportunities open up, but not only for Aniela.
