Film description

Railway holidays - this is the form of vacation chosen by the film's characters. They are not well-off and they are often excluded from society because of their hard financial situation. You can find among them people who love railways and people who work on the railways. A specific microcosm comes to being right next to the mainstream of our lives. The film captures a time and lifestyle that are irrevocably passing.
