Description

An outrageous Brechtian parable that explores the lines we draw between ourselves and other people. The clock moves towards midnight. Life is about to be turned upside down for one small town as the border crossing is sealed shut, dividing here from there, us from them, this from that. In the midst of it all, Stranger, a young girls beloved dog, has gone missing. Will Stranger be found before the border closes, or will he be trapped forever on the wrong side
