ABOUT THE MOVIE

It's hard to say which the first and which the last train station is in this journey. It is a story about a train that goes out in a circle. Once connecting Pula and Istria with the world, now its route is Pula-Vodnjan-Kanfanar-Pazin -Lupoglav-Buzet and back, over and over again, through the magnificent winter landscapes illuminated by the sun, snow-covered and lashed by the local wind, bura. The heart of this railway is made of the people who travel with it every day – school children and workers. They are talking about the fate of this forgotten treasure, the "Makina“, which still lives.
