How it feels

This Danish documentary features people who have experienced a borderland between life and death. The director is among those who describe this state as a strange, private world where time, space, light, and color feel different than in waking life.

What happens

Grænseland er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1987 instrueret af Carl Otto Petersen. Det var, ligesom jeg havde fået en verden for mig selv, altså mit eget univers, hvor der ikke var plads til nogen mennesker. Der var kun plads til mig selv. Som de øvrige medvirkende har filmens instruktør oplevet at befinde sig i et grænseland mellem liv og død, en tilstand fuld af sælsomme oplevelser. Tid og rum, lys og farve tegner sig helt anderledes end i vågen tilstand. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
