The。story。opens。in。Balochistan,。in。a。small,。scarcely。‘wired’。village。bordering。Iran。and。Afghanistan.。Ahmad。is。an。idealistic。teacher。in。exile,。educating。the。local。community;。his。partner。Haseeba,。however,。has。spent。time。in。jail。in。Tehran。for。the。very。same。offence。against。the。State.。The。disaccord。between。them。is。not。only。social。but。also。personal.。Ahmad's。destiny。collides。with。that。of。a。family。fleeing。the。Taliban;。soon。the。intricate。divisions。of。age。and。gender。within。that。group。will。trigger。other。problems。and。entanglements。–。including。a。'lovers。on。the。run'。intrigue。that。fleetingly。recalls。Murnau's。classic。Tabu。(1931). Across。all。the。arresting,。shifting。peripeteia。of。its。plot,。Abbas。Amini's。film。deftly。dramatises。the。complicated。question。of。commitment:。do。we。commit。ourselves。to。a。political。cause,。a。set。of。religious。beliefs,。or。a。person?。And。how。do。we。negotiate。the。commitments。of。others,。even。those。closest。to。us,。when。they。are。based。on。a。very。different。value。system? With。its。sparse。music。score,。densely。naturalistic。acting。and。unostentatious。camera。work,。Endless。Borders。is。almost。a。minimalistic。suspense。thriller。(with。Hitchcockian。overtones),。combined。with。a。heated。family。melodrama。–。but。it。never。loses。sight。of。the。serious。and。extremely。timely。issues。that。it。raises. 源自：https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2023/films/endless-borders
