THE BOARDER WITHIN US

by Knutte Wester

A hitchhike along a new border in eastern Armenia becomes a journey within a human landscape. People try to show us the border and sing about the soil on the other side and mourn what has been lost. This was once an area where people of different groups lived together. The border is real but invisible in the landscape. Where is it? Is it inside us?
