- Summary
- In 1938 a Jewish woman and her son travel eastward to the mother's homeland in the heart of Europe, where they see ominous signs of the Holocaust to come. Eventually, the mother disappears on a mysterious train with an unknown destination and the son, after seeking her fruitlessly, is resigned to awaiting a train of his own. Evokes the apprehension of a Europe on the verge of world war and a people on the verge of a near-destruction.
