Film Still FRONTIER: Man at gunpoint

Frontier

A nail-biting historical thriller set in the Pyrenees, Frontier shows the desperate journey of French Jews attempting to flee Nazi control by escaping into Spain. It is a classic border story where life-and-death powers can reside with a customs officer and village government officials.

As one Spanish customs officer’s defiance grows into a resistance movement, he and his wife are forced to confront the scars left by the Spanish Civil War and face mortal danger for their actions.
