Students film | Drama Duration 12:37

Famous writer, Anton Tamm, is travelling by train. He is on his way to the city to get a life achievement award. On his trip he’s forced to share a cabin with a prisoner who’s travelling to get his sentence from the court. They talk and the conversation leads them to some suppressed memories, which tie them together closer than we would expect.
