COMPARTMENT NO 6

As a train moves through the heart of the Arctic circle, two strangers will share a journey that will change their lives forever. A young Finnish woman escapes an enigmatic love affair in Moscow by boarding a train to the Arctic port of Murmansk. Forced to share the long ride and a tiny sleeping car with a Russian miner, the unexpected encounter leads the occupants of Compartment no. 6 to face the truth about their own yearning for human connection. “The humdrum and heartswelling film evokes a powerful nostalgia for a type of loneliness we don’t really have any more, and for the type of love that was its cure“ (Jessica Kiang, Variety).
