Trains is an original, reflective journey through the 20th century composed entirely of archival footage. A wordless portrait, full of beauty and bitterness, accompanied by Paweł Szymański’s sophisticated music in the background.
A train compartment is a place of limbo, where we are momentarily torn away from everyday life.
Sometimes the journey is accompanied by a quiet hope that reaching the destination will change one’s life, at other times, however, it is a journey in the shadow of a painful emptiness.
