Grensen mot Russland er blitt en grense mellom krig og fred. Gjennom tre måneder har Nils Rune Langeland reist fra Kirkenes i nord til Georgia i sør, og skrevet en personlig og essayistisk reiseskildring med historiske dypdykk i et nytt grenseland.
Fortiden lever i nåtiden i uberegnelige sammenhenger. I Frihetens grense analyserer historiker Nils Rune Langeland den eksistensielle utryggheten som har oppstått i Europa, og undersøker hvordan nåtiden er koblet til historie og geografi. Dette er en essayistisk reise i både fortid og nåtid, i et landskap der identitet er et spørsmål om frihet eller død.
Med tog, buss og haik hos tilfeldige mennesker han møter, har Langeland reist gjennom 17 land som alle må forholde seg til den nye trusselen fra øst på ulike måter. Reisen bringer oss også over grensen til Ukraina, inn i krigens territorium.
