The Borders

Four Kyrgyz migrant workers are transporting the corpse of their comrade, who died unexpectedly, from Kazakhstan back to their homeland.When they go through passport control on the border, it appears that the deceased doesn’t have the right identity card. The corrupt border guard forces the workers to pay him off. Corruption and bribery on the border, which have become common these days, seem especially blasphemous and cynical in the face of death.A conflict flares up between the Kyrgyz migrant workers and the Kazakh frontier guards, quashing their hopes to reach their homeland. Finally, their kindhearted Kazakh truck driver helps them return home. The Border not only treats the problem of crossing geographic borders. It also questions the borders of human behavior and morality. The idea is that every human living on the Earth should follow the laws of morality, humanism and compassion.
