SYNOPSIS

Two strangers meet on a train that has no specific origin or final destination. It is the year 2024 and two thousand wagons make up this enormous iron serpent. The journey between Bagdad and Lisbon is a long one, but the train doesn’t stop to pick up or drop off passengers. Two of these passengers, Martin and Angel, strike up a relationship and start to sample the wines they come across in each region of their journey. The alcohol helps to loosen their tongues and provokes the stories that weave together during this journey to an unexpected destination; stories that coalesce into an oriental but sharply contemporary tale. Martin has had an affair with a Moroccan girl and Angel has been mixed up with an extremist group. Twenty years have passed, but his partner in crime, ‘The Tunisian’, is threatening to come after him to claim some unpaid dues. Fear and painful recollection, but also hope, accompany the passengers on this journey. The parallel tracks of these two lives have just crossed, leading to stories about a champion pig fattener, erotic revelations of a paternalistic sexual athlete or a surrealist football match between Islamic extremists, and finally a revelation of what life was like before March, before that March 11th.
