Frontier

Set in the village of Staroje Dudino, Frontier tells the story of local residents who rely on the wealthy Novik, whose influence and power are upheld by the police and clergy. The film portrays a volatile environment where Novik incites discord between the impoverished Jewish community and Polish workers, highlighting the struggles of the marginalized.

A pivotal moment in the film occurs during the traditional "black crown" ceremony, where tensions reach a breaking point. Factory workers, led by the communist Haidul, unite with the Jewish poor to confront the oppressive forces of the police, ultimately resulting in the liberation of Boris Bernstein, sentenced to death. This dynamic narrative captures the essence of social conflict during the era.
