PSIFF 2010 Bridging the Borders Award

In the latest from the talent behind the PSIFF 2006 Audience Award Winner, a simple but transcendent story about faith and human frailty achieves a state of grace. Centering on a tough ex-con temporarily serving as an amanuensis for a blind pastor in rural Finland, the director's magisterial control renders predictable material into something fresh and heart-rending.
