Premiere. During the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia, young Milos works at the local train station alongside the womanizing Hubicka, the foolish station master Zednicek, and the beautiful conductor Masa. The director of the town's railways assigns them the mission of protecting certain strategic trains, indispensable for the Führer's plans of domination in Central Europe. But Milos has another more intimate and pressing problem, which leads him to make a drastic decision. "The charm of this film lies in the composure and stealth of its earthly comedy, in the marvelous elegance of subtlety and in its intelligent and humorous understanding of elemental sex."
