The story opens in Balochistan, in a small, scarcely ‘wired’ village bordering Iran and Afghanistan. Ahmad is an idealistic teacher in exile, educating the local munity; his pner Haseeba, however, has spent time in jail in Tehran for the very same offence against the State. The disaord between them is not only social but also personal. Ahmad's destiny llides with that of a family fleeing the Taliban; soon the intricate divisions of age and gender within that group will trigger other blems and entanglements – including a 'lovers on the run' intrigue that fleetingly recalls Murnau's classic Tabu (1931).
　　Across all the arresting, shifting peripeteia of its plot, Abbas Amini's film deftly dramatises the plicated question of mitment: do we mit ourselves to a political cause, a set of religious beliefs, or a person? And how do we negotiate the mitments of others, even those closest to us, when they are based on a very different value system?
　　With its sparse music sre, densely naturalistic acting and unostentatious camera work, Endless Borders is almost a minimalistic suspense thriller (with Hitchckian overtones), bined with a heated family melodrama – but it never loses sight of the serious and extremely timely issues that it raises.
