Enredo

A railway crossing in the middle of nowhere. Two wooden outposts surrounded by hills. Two guards. Every once in a while, a voice through the speaker announces the passing of a train. Nothing stirs their routine until love charges in.

A railway crossing in the middle of nowhere. Two wooden outposts surrounded by yellow hills and an open horizon. Two guards: solitary Yiannis and cool Antonis. Every once in a while, a voice through the speaker announces the passing of a train. Nothing seems to stir their routine until love charges in, crushing all certainties.—Thessaloniki International Film Festival

Two level crossing keepers, Yannis, a conscientious attendant who never strays far from his post, and taciturn Antonis, a laid-back recluse in tune with the serenity of the landscape, manually lower the bars to ensure the safety of the rare passers-by. Amid the quiet allure of nature, their days blend into a seamless rhythm, disturbed only by the occasional announcement of an incoming train crackling through the speaker. But even in this secluded corner of the world, love has a funny way of finding you. And when it arrives, unexpected and electrifying, everything changes forever.—Nick Riganas
