The trains from this station travel in two directions only. Bernolakovo Station is both the beginning and end of the world. Marek, the stationmaster, and Lubos, the switch controller, wouldn’t leave the place for anything, although they dream of escape. Their reason for staying lies in all the tiny details they look after. In each train that arrives, in each passenger that leaves. All this makes up a picture of Slovakia’the picture of a secret paradise. A comedy about a way of life.
