A fairytale for all about a girl overwhelmed by grief, a boy who loves her, and how greed leads the purest of hearts to commit the vilest of actions. A timeless and universal story, both strange and familiar, from meticulously crafted puppets and miniature sets. The film uses a hybrid technique of frame-by-frame animation, live-action and CGI to achieve a depth of emotion and expressiveness unseen in a puppet-based medium.

雾霭缭绕，堆积如山的行李，古旧破烂，记载着主人和家族所经历的不平凡的历史。那月台的末端，女人消瘦疲惫的身形兀自站立，沉重的行李几乎将她的身子压垮，她沉默寡言，充满惶恐的双眼掩饰不住内心的焦灼。少顷，列车呼啸而过，几乎将女人的身体和灵魂卷入车轮。拥挤不堪的车厢内，女人蜷缩角落，她小心翼翼观察周围的乘客，他们或酣睡、或玩耍、或阅读、或不怀好意，空气中仿佛弥漫腐烂死亡的气息。落日余晖绝望地消失在地平线，无尽的黑夜，恐惧蔓延…… 该片创作者此前在加拿大境内乘坐火车，进行为期两周的素材收集，并荣获2008年第80届奥斯卡金像奖最佳动画短片提名。
