There is perhaps, no border outpost in the world quite like Wagah, where this film begins its exploration. An outpost where every evening people are drawn to a thin white line and probably... anyone in the eye of a conflict could find themselves here.
A Season Outside is a personal and philosophical journey through the shadows of past generations, conflicting positions, borders and time zones... a nomad wandering through lines of separation, examining the scars of violence and dreams of hope scattered among communities and nations.
