„Grenze”

In the middle of a dark night, an escape attempt over the Baltic Sea goes terribly wrong. After many years, Dana returns to her hometown at the Baltic Sea with her partner. Soon, the young woman is afflicted by unsettling nightmares and visions slowly assembling into a painful memory. They drive her into a restless search for her father, the boat builder, whom she hasn’t seen since the night that changed her life.
