Ein Franken sind 14 Peseten

Crossing the Border, also known as Crossing Borders (Spanish: Un franco, 14 pesetas; lit.  'One Franc, 14 Pesetas') is a 2006 Spanish comedy-drama film directed by Carlos Iglesias, who also stars in alongside Javier Gutiérrez, Nieve de Medina and Isabel Blanco [es] .

Set in the 1960s, the plot concerns the economic migration of two Spaniards from Spain to Switzerland.

The screenplay was penned by Carlos Iglesias with the collaboration of 'Central de Guiones'.[1] The film was produced by Drive Cine and Adivina Producciones,[2] with the participation of TVE.[1]

The film screened at the 9th Málaga Film Festival's main competition in March 2006.[3] Distributed by Alta Classics,[1] it was theatrically released in Spain on 5 May 2006.[4]

Jonathan Holland of Variety wrote that "combining gentle comedy, social crit and sentimentality into an enjoyable and surprisingly spiky whole", the film "is a traditional heartwarmer with enough contempo edge to keep it from looking merely old-fashioned", also noting the "exuberant" performances.[1]

Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, assessing that while it is a tad too tearjerking, yet it is also effective and honest, also pointing out "at its unusual narrative solidity and a superb technical craft".[5]
