Micheline

2000 · 100 min

A quiet, contemplative documentary drift, more a mood of restless wandering than a story, asking patience and rewarding it with stillness.

Overview
The story of a traveler who one day decided to get on the train without knowing where to go. He had been thinking about it for a long time: to live his life leaning out of the train window, and never come back down.
