BORDERLINE | Feature-Length Film
BORDERLINE the Film | Plus Edition • 1h 27m
This film is about a woman who has a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis. The first time she tried to kill herself she was five years old. Now she is 45 and hell-bent on trying to live – most of the time.
She reacts on impulse, attacks, distracts, meditates, offers social commentary, trips over herself, laughs, judges, burns bridges, makes social gaffes, apologizes, loses her cool, philosophizes and remains dogged in her search for recovery.
