Litovski dokumentarec, ki je nastal v koprodukciji s Kaurismakijevo produkcijsko hišo Sputnik Oy, je film o čakanju in bolečini, »ki prihaja od znotraj in počasi razžira človeka«, kakor se je izrazil režiser. Njegova kamera se je osredotočila na čečensko družino, ki že devet let čaka na novice ruskih oblasti o usodi izginulega sina; zaradi protiruskih oziroma terorističnih dejavnosti naj bi ga ugrabili, mučili in ubili. Toda zanesljivih podatkov o njegovi usodi ni, ruska stran vztrajno zavrača odgovornost, ignorira prošnje ostalih družin o drugih izginulih, svojcem ostaja zgolj čakanje in pisanje pritožb. Naslov filma pomeni mejo med živimi in mrtvimi, prag med obema svetovoma, ki pa ne pripada nobenemu.
»Torture is everyday reality both in Chechnya and the Russian Federation, if only a covert reality. Yet from the start of the project I was not interested in the production of certain truths where either the reasons or the motives of perpetrators are laid bare, or the traumas of victims are simply exposed to our voyeuristic gaze. Rather I was concerned to show how torture enters into everyday life; to inquire into its lingering power over a person. Simultaneously I was struck so many times by the extraordinary capacity of the human being to be able to live a dignified life after it had been destroyed by pain; by the absolute power of the state agents over the people. This helped me to understand that torture is not simply the painful event that endures for the rest of the one's life, but the moment when the desire for life is itself killed in that person.« (Mantas Kvedaravicius)
