Synopsis
When Borders Get Indistinct tells two stories that are only seemingly distinct. One is that of the historical region of Banat and its inhabitants who, after 100 years, are struggling to preserve their identity. The other one is a page of the recent history of Ukraine, where the war that broke out on 24 February 2022 is still far from over and has forced millions of people to leave everything behind in order to save their lives.
