“The train has its schedule. We have ours.”
Synopsis
Children build worlds between active freight tracks — games, rules and territories invisible to every timetable. A short film about play under infrastructure.
Behind the lens
Safety crew on every shoot day. The children directed where we could stand — their map, not ours.
