One of Europe's strangest borders lies between the Republic of Moldova and the de facto autonomous region of Transnistria. The territory serves as a hostage for larger geopolitical interests: Three soldiers stand guard at this trilateral checkpoint. The factions in this conflict, Moldova, Transnistria and Russia, gather here under one roof. Not a particularly dramatic situation - rather a kind of waiting for Godot and a parable for positive coexistence of the different population groups. Starting from the microcosm of this station, life at one of the strangest borders on the edge of Europe unfolds.
