Train Stops for Five Minutes

Traukinys stovi penkias minutes

Directing: Janina Lapinskaite

Synopsis

The film tells about a town N and its people. “It has been long since the sound of train carriages rolling on the rails beat the rhythm of their lives. A huge stone on the Railway Station Square reminds of the moments when the train used to stop here for longer in order to swallow thousands of people only to spit them out in the wide open spaces of Siberia. Now it stops only for five minutes. Yet this is enough time for farewell kisses and a promise to return. Town N is populated by those who have built homes and given birth to their children here for a purpose, because nothing happens just by chance. Thus, ordinary everyday life in a provincial town N hides people’s extraordinary dreams, memories, discoveries and losses” .
