Norwegian title: Grenser

Roy Jacobsen

After the war the Belgian man Markus poses as blind, even though the eyesight behind his dark glasses is still intact. The only one who knows the secret is little Robert, the son of an American soldier devoured by the war. Robert is the person Markus tells his story to, a story about the siege of Stalingrad, about making impossible choices, about the curse of doubt and the randomness of war.
