Private Project

the Idea

A man, ready to depart, appears unable to leave his own room to reach the adjacent train station. The very short journey transforms itself into a dreamlike voyage through fears, expectations and missed opportunities. The departure of the last train prompts a sudden return to reality, where the protagonist's real existence is called into question.
