Strong acting

‘Cross the Line’ has only two main players focusing on their lives and work. The backgrounds of the characters that are not shown in detail are successfully narrated through the dialogue that emerges when their problems arise. We won’t know much about Haris, but we can tell how much he cares about Maya by putting himself in dangerous jobs.
