A lyrical reportage about passengers on a Tallinn commuter train. A reflective film about the journey of life, the change of generations and vital values, which is born by observing train passengers. Director Valeria Anderson continues the creative search that she began in the film “Tartu – Spring 1974”, finding that alongside synchronous, socially problematic film journalism, it is also necessary to develop a poetic film language. The spring landscape, buildings and slogans that open from the train window mix associatively with what is happening in the carriage. The music by Tõnu Naissoo in the film has lyrics by Paul-Eerik Rummo, sung by Urmas Alender.
