Varuh Meje


Guardian of the Frontier, or Varuh Meje, is the story of three Slovenian students who decide to take a canoe trip down the river that separates Slovenia from Croatia. Their adventure becomes an exploration of all kinds of borders - international, personal, and gender - and the spectre of physical violence that hangs over those who cross them without institutional permission. Its from 2002, the first Slovenian film to be directed by a woman, and I really enjoyed it.
