Gräns
After a customs officer develops a strange attraction to the suspect she’s investigating, the case’s revelations soon call into question her entire existence.
Border guard Tina was born with a facial ‘disfiguration’, a strange scar on her tailbone, and the ability to sense or smell how people feel. She’s especially adept at detecting fear or unease, and therefore extraordinarily good at spotting smugglers. One day, a suspicious-looking man steps off the ferry. Unable to identify what he’s hiding, she becomes obsessed with him and the disturbing aura he exudes. Her investigation reveals much more than expected, and she is soon forced to confront terrifying revelations about herself.
Based on a short story by LET THE RIGHT ONE IN author John Ajvide Lindqvist, GRÄNS conjures up memories of unsettling folk tales, suggesting a time when we were closer to the natural world and its odder anomalies, a world that now seems distant while feeling creepily familiar.
