剧情简介

Border, The / Granica [FL 573] 　　This excellent film openly deals with complex ethnic relations between Hungarians and Serbs in the ethnically mixed province of Vojvodina. The story takes place in a village close to the Yugoslav-Hungarian border just after the end of WWII. The war and communist revolution have changed the lives of two families, a native Hungarian and an immigrant Serbian one, leaving each of them with different traumas and deep suspicion towards their new neighbors. This mutual dislike stands firmly in a way of a possible love story that might otherwise easily emerge between Etel, the beautiful young daughter of Hungarian landlord who was raped by Soviet soldiers and now has a baby to support and the young son of the Serbian incomer to the village. As both families experience the tough first years of the new regime as are equally harassed by the brutal young officials of the new government, many joyous and sad, proud and humiliating situations develop. Events force these two families to change irreversibly and gradually break with their former prejudices, allowing free rein to the love between two young people of different ethnic backgrounds.
