Director Judith Colell’s taut historical thriller brings to life the story of more than 80,000 people who clandestinely crossed the Pyrenees to escape Nazism. In 1943, Manel Grau, a civil servant with a Republican past defies his superiors and smuggles Jews across the border, with the help of another villager, Julianna, and Jerome, a French smuggler. As he does so, Manel and his wife find themselves caught in a dangerous journey that will awaken old ghosts from the still-recent Spanish Civil War. Shot with vintage lenses against the haunting Pyrenean landscape, Frontier is a tense and deeply human parable about those who help, those who collaborate with the oppressor, and those who simply look the other way.
