Myriam presents herself at the border of a territory governed by strict criteria. Led into an office, she is tested by two agents; as the questions roll on, the expected answers blur and something derails, until judgement itself wavers.
Picked by Felix
The scouts
A border interrogation that weaponizes bureaucratic logic until the whole apparatus collapses into absurdist quicksand—the kind of premise that shouldn't work but does, precisely because DeGab refuses to pick a lane between thriller and satire and lets both cannibalize each other.
Formally precise interrogation-room cinema that echoes the tradition of Haneke and early Kiarostami, where the frame's containment and the editing's patience become the film's argument about systems that devour their own logic.
The entire film pivots on a single edit—the moment the questioners' certainty fractures—and that cut is so surgically placed in the rhythm that you feel the ground shift; two minutes, one room, one decision that rewires everything you thought you were watching.
