Two strangers, Jerzy and Marta, accidentally end up holding tickets for the same sleeping chamber on an overnight train to the Baltic Sea coast. Also on board is Marta's spurned lover, who will not leave her alone. When the police enter the train in search of a murderer on the lam, rumors fly and everything seems to point toward one of the main characters as the culprit.

lately, I've been paying more attention to how the characters are written, and I admire polish cinema in this aspect. you don't know much about these people, but you want to write a psychological study on each one. just a couple of phrases are enough.
this film really made me feel like I was on a train and just got off. for those few hours in a confined space, life seems to stop. the train is one of the few places where you can only read books and have silly conversations without remorse. and every time I come out of it, it feels like my life has started a new
