Each day, the Carlingford ferry brings people over the border between Northern-Ireland and Ireland, in an era the debate on Brexit is predominant. Staying or remaining, both options create the same big question marks on the future. The short journey over the wide sea brings different thoughts and reflections to the surface, while the border is hiding in the sea. The film creates a kaleidoscopic narrative based on how people’s daily lives and thoughts relate to this imaginary line. How visible would the borderline eventually become?

Verbeke captures these shifting tides in chunky, characterful compositions that – whatever the differences – capably demonstrate that the Irish people’s oral genius is in rude health on both sides. Go to Full Review Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa 05/07/2021
The documentary explores the thoughts and emotions of people living around the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in a perplexingly bland, vanilla way. Go to Full Review Ricardo Gallegos La Estatuilla 05/04/2021
An organic critique of the consequences of Brexit and a study of how a political issue can affect the peace of the innocent. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Allan Hunter Screen International 04/30/2021
