The film portrays Christian communities as welcoming and supportive, offering refuge and hope to a refugee family fleeing persecution. Churches established by American missionaries are depicted as instrumental in providing assistance and a sense of belonging.
The film "Between Borders" centers on the Petrosyan family's struggle as ethnic Armenians facing prejudice and seeking refuge. The available plot details do not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, indicating no depiction within the narrative.
