THE CROSSING

THE CROSSING
By Kakha Beridze

GENRE: Horror, Drama
LOGLINE:

Connected through an online relationship, a man and a woman decide to cross borders toward each other, only to become trapped separately in two different hells — an illegal criminal network and a country descending into civil war — where love is no longer a lifeline, but a choice that pulls them deeper into danger.

SYNOPSIS:

Adam and Sarah meet online and quickly form an intense emotional connection that becomes a refuge from their isolated lives. What begins as a digital relationship gradually turns into a shared belief that meeting in real life will give their lives meaning and direction.

When Adam decides to cross the border illegally to reach Sarah, he is drawn into a criminal network that exploits migrants and treats people as currency. His journey toward love becomes a descent into captivity, where survival demands increasingly brutal compromises.

After losing contact with Adam, Sarah begins her own journey toward the border. At the same time, her country is thrown into political chaos as a coup ignites a civil war. While attempting to cross, she is captured by rebel forces and forced to navigate a violent, unstable world where rules constantly shift and survival depends on endurance and submission.

Separated by borders and trapped in different forms of violence, both Adam and Sarah endure physical and psychological suffering driven by the same belief — that love will justify the risk. In the end, after surviving their separate ordeals, they reach the border from opposite sides and finally encounter each other there, not in safety or freedom, but in the narrow space between nations, where movement is impossible and only human connection remains.

THE CROSSING sounds interesting, Kakha Beridze! I think your logline needs to be tightened up. It's 53 words. I suggest keeping your logline to 35 words or less/around 35 words.

Maurice Vaughan Thanks for the advice and the feedback. I’m working on it now, and I think I might have rushed the post. I’m considering rewriting the logline, either partially or entirely.

Ok, great, Kakha Beridze. You're welcome.
