Summary |
Set in a small Romanian town during the 1999 Kosovo conflict, a US-manned NATO train bound for the border unexpectedly reaches the end of the line when a stubborn and pedantic station master applies the brakes over a paperwork technicality. Sensing a golden opportunity to profit from the Americans' unexpected presence, the local community go to ridiculous lengths to welcome them, while the stranded troops' hard-bitten and increasingly frustrated captain decides to take matters into his own hands |
