synopsis
Life is a train ride – we choose where we’ll go and with whom, but we all finally end up in a tunnel. A humorous little sketch of people hanging around a train station answers the question of the meaning of human existence, which is just as significant as a hockey stick in the hands of a travelling old woman.
