Crossing Borders
Directed by Carlos Iglesias
Produced by Adivina Producciones S.L., Drive Cine
A melancholic historical drama about two Spanish men forced by poverty and political circumstance to emigrate, tracing their journey toward reinvention and the costs of displacement.
In 1960, Martín and Marcos are forced by their difficult personal circumstances to travel to Switzerland in search of work, leaving their families in the Madrid of Franco's Spain. But they undertake more than a simple journey; they begin the road to a new life.
