Shadows on the Rails

Synopsis

On a weekend in the Finnish countryside, a group of train drivers gathers to share their experiences with trauma. Each driver has faced the emotional toll of fatal incidents involving suicides and accidents on the tracks. In Finland, these tragedies occur as frequently as once a week, leaving many drivers with post-traumatic stress disorder. The film illustrates how peer support and open conversations help these individuals cope with their pain and find a path forward in their lives.
