Illusive Tracks
Christmas 1945. In a train from Stockholm to Berlin are a motley collection. It is the failure of the author Gunnar who wants to leave his old life and make a contribution in Berlin; physician Henry who plan to marry Marie and likewise Henry's current wife Karin, who he plans to kill during the journey, the middle-aged gay couple Pompe and Sixten, a soldier going to Uppsala but is on the wrong train: the cheerful and cynical old Margaret, and a dressed elf and a surly conductor. With the train are also a number of Baltic refugees accompanied by two nuns to be sent to Germany.
A chilling, atmospheric journey aboard a claustrophobic night train. Tensions simmer as a diverse group of strangers navigate deception and danger. The mood is a tightrope walk between dark humor and genuine suspense, set against a bleak, post-war backdrop.
