This movie was a bit long for what it was, but I liked it. Here are my explanations for anyone who was confused:
#1 Notice how Freya and her family had no idea what the tags were, and weren't wearing tags themselves. This means the tagged people were on the OTHER side of the fence.
#2 The first scene shows a couple tagged people trying to get past the riders and the fence. Per my first point, these people are actually from the OTHER side and trying to get to Freya's side. (Remember, the people on Freya's side don't wear the tags or know what they're for.)
#3 Whatever Freya sees on the OTHER side of the fence is so horrible that she stares shocked at it, runs away, then shoots a gun into the air to attract attention to get anyone to take her home. They tag people like cattle over there, so maybe there's a cannibal slaughterhouse there, or a slave camp or something.
#5 The general metaphor of the movie is "the grass is always greener on the other side". Freya cheats on her husband and dreams of a world better than the one she's in with scarce food and poisoned water. But she finds out that the other side of the fence is far worse. The movie ends with her husband accepting her and her realizing that she's where she should be.
I liked this movie overall once I figured out the tag thing. It was a bit slow until the last half hour or so.
