All That Passes By Through A Window That Doesn't Open

Fall Grant 2014 - Post-Production Stage

Synopsis

Amid the attempt to revive a ‘new Silk Road’ between Europe and Asia, Azerbaijani men labour to build a new railroad that promises to bring glory to a new generation. Across closed borders in Armenia, a lonely stationmaster sits idle in suspended time, waiting for 25 years for the return of trains. A journey by rail, where men reflect upon desire and regret, floating through a Eurasian expanse, striving to fill their days and dreams, as much as their pockets.
