Film description
It is almost dark. A few people are waiting for the bus at a stop in the middle of nowhere. It is winter, with snow lying everywhere. They wait. Time stretches on through the fading light and the biting cold. And then an intruder appears. Is he drunk? He tries to get acquainted with a young lady but is chased off by a man in a fur. The woman almost intervenes to protect him. The intruder begins to cry. Everybody huddles around him protectively. There is no sign of the bus.
i There are no scheduled screenings.
