"A mysterious traveller awakens something deep within customs officer Tina. This inspires a journey which throws her entire existence up in the air, eventually revealing her true self." (the production company's synopsis)

Certificate number	205507
Date	2018-07-06
Classification	Allowed from age 15
Grounds for decision	Framställningen innehåller inslag av hotfull stämning, en starkt obehaglig scen där en chockad polis tittar på en barnpornografisk film med ett skrikande barn, en man som dras ut ur en bil och misshandlas brutalt samt en närbild på en död blodig man med spräckt skalle. Detta kan medföra stark rädsla och oro och bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 15 år.

Aspect ratio	2.35:1

Colour type	Colour
Carrier type	DCP
Length in minutes	110 min
