Die letzte Grenze (2012)
While ageing border guard Alfred tries to save his now redundant border from demolition, Cupid's arrow strikes him. For over 30 years, border guard and passionate Verdi lover Alfred Birnbaum has been guarding a border in the idyllic no man's land between Germany and the Czech Republic. His only diversion is his daily encounter with the pretty Suzanne, who crosses the border every morning on her bicycle with a heavy sack of rice. When he hears the news that Europe is now opening its borders to the Czech Republic as part of the EU's eastward expansion, rendering him superfluous, he does everything he can to save "his" border.
