Plot
A train dispatcher encounters a mute stranger who appears out of nowhere, and finds himself mysteriously involved with a murder in Poland. The end of the eighties in the twentieth century.
Sinekatalog’s take
A lonely railway dispatcher is drawn into a mystery involving a mute stranger and a killing at the end of the Cold War. The rotoscoped black-and-white animation gives it a moody, graphic-novel look. A distinctive choice for fans of adult animation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
