Director Abbas Amini weaves the story of individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures who converge in the same space. In his film, which had its world premiere at the Rotterdam Film Festival, he explores the notion of borders through cultural, social, and personal lenses, prompting viewers to question where boundaries truly exist. What unfolds at the edge of geographic borders when cultural divides are put to the test?

Endless Borders tells the story of a teacher living in exile. Defeated by life’s challenges, he has lost all hope and courage. However, the deep bond between two young people rekindles something within him, revealing the lack of love and bravery in his own life. When he offers help to a refugee family at the border, this encounter of people from different cultures and perspectives turns his act of hospitality into a complicated and tangled situation for all involved.

In this narrative, where lives intersect and borders blur, Amini draws attention to the invisible barriers that both unite and divide us. His camera not only examines geographical boundaries but also probes cultural, social, and individual limits, challenging the audience to rethink where borders truly begin and end.
