Synopsis
A 5-meter-high wall now cuts through Europe’s last primeval forest, between Poland and Belarus. What does a border made of steel and concrete do to the people who have to cross it in search of refuge? What is its impact on an environment whose paths and relationships, woven over time, are thus severed? Everywhere in the forest, there are traces of violence. Solidarity and testimonies stand in opposition to the brutality of the border apparatus.
