A young man is put to the test as a newly trained customs official. Alone and inexperienced at a border post in the hills, he meets bizarre, mysterious characters who will lead him to his own frontiers in a series of events both absurd and grotesque. A final project prior to graduation from the Zurich school, this is a film in the form of an enchanted parable.
Parabola fiabesca di un ragazzo che tenta di affermarsi come doganiere e riesce ad arrivare ai propri confini.
