Invisible Border is a shortfilm by Mark Gerstorfer. The film tells the story of a deportation in Vienna in the middle of the night. Police officer Nancy (Temiloluwa Obiyemi) and her colleague Albert (Tommy Leonardelli) have the task of evicting a family. Together with a police unit, they ambush an Albanian family without a valid residence permit. The situation escalates. The pubescent son (Alexander Sladek) becomes rebellious, the father (Labinot Morina) suffers a nervous breakdown. When the mother (Vjosa Breiteneder-Lubeniqi) of the family throws herself from the second floor, Nancy takes care of the 8-year-old girl (Nathalie Sollak[1]), who did not notice the incident in her cellar hiding place. The events of the night leave everyone involved traumatized.
