Beatrice Möller

A film that excavates layers of myth and memory, on an ancient Eritrean steam railway, to learn the elusive truth about Eritrea, its war-ridden history, and at the core of it all, a deep friendship that keeps it all going.

The film follows three women on their search for the right way of living...

In the new South Africa, everyone is equal: blacks, whites, Indians, and coloreds. On a train journey from Cape Town to Johannesburg, they encounter the fractures of their past: 25 years after apartheid, nothing is as it was, but nothing is as it should be either. The film tells of inner boundaries, unresolved prejudices, unfulfilled hopes, and smoldering conflicts. Everyone is sitting on the same train, but not in the same compartment.
