Bai (Le Ernst) is the stationmaster in a small whistle-stop town who must contend with the suffering of his dying wife Katrinka (Tammi Ost) in this depressing romantic drama. She knows her husband loves her but she has fantasies about Huus (Kurt Ravn), the shy estate manager who has suffered his own losses in love. This is the directorial debut for veteran actor Max von Sydow. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
