Granitsa

2006 • Directed by

A long Russian train rumbles through the desolate Siberian landscape. Two travelers, a man and a woman (Natali Broods), spend a few days and nights in the same train compartment. Although they do not speak each other's language, a certain mutual attraction grows. The rhythm of the train journey; killing time, reading, and looking outside are portrayed in a languid, poetic way.
