Train Dreams

The film is the story of Robert, a logger in the Pacific Northwest, USA, where this beautiful film was shot. His life unfolds against a rapidly changing early 20th Century.

Robert helps prepare for the coming of the railroad, which represents both progress and destruction, and with the railroad workers will come some tragic events. A profound generation-spanning drama, a film of echoes, a meditation on  beauty and change. A poetic story of love, loss and loneliness, with a quiet eloquence, and feeling like an eyewitness account of the 20th Century.
