Varuh Meje

The first Slovene narrative feature film directed by a woman, Guardian of the Frontier follows three college girls on a summer canoe trip. As they travel down the Kolpa river, their trip becomes a journey into fear when they discover that the woods hide not only the border between the relatively affluent Slovenia and a downtrodden Croatia, but also the border between the permissible and the forbidden, and that it is the self-styled Guardian of the Frontier who draws the line. The girls find themselves in the midst of a hallucinatory combination of nationalist and personal passions.
