Plot synopsis
Across 4500 kilometres of Russian
vastness, from the Northern
permafrost to Adleris 39 degrees heat a
train carries the inhabitants of the
polar Urengoy to the Black Sea. In the
narrowness of the third-class
compartment the passengers come close
to each other over the six day journey,
whether at the will of a higher force or
through the lottery of seat allocation.
