Synopsis

A railroad worker, whose job it is to switch the tracks to send oncoming trains on their journeys, has a recurring dream in which he climbs a railway track to the sky, only to wake to his normal surroundings. Each time a train arrives at his remote station, he catches a glimpse of his beloved getting off the coach – but in his dull but dreamlike world, she is always nothing but a mirage. A poignant tale of never-forgotten, never-ending love.
