At Brest Litovsk, on the border between Poland and the former Soviet Union, the gauge of train tracks radically changes: to move beyond Belorussia, the tracks must be wider. Building upon this profound metaphor, writer-director Marcel Lozinski probes the eyes of passengers on international trains as they witness the changing of wheels under the train cars: do they sense that they’re leaving one world to enter another? What kinds of fear, anxiety, anticipation are running through their minds? How do they feel about what they are leaving behind and what they will meet ahead?
