Discovered a #eurocine roadmovie–thanks to #Filmin –that doesn't live up to its great first half, but you know what would fix it? More #CrossborderRail shenanigans. One of the members of the dysfunctional but lovable #NiloMayaLaura 🇸🇪 🇵🇹 family does hop on a #train from Malmö to Hamburg, but the writers really missed a trick by crossing from France to Portugal by car (seamlessly and thus with 0 conflict right where their plot stalls). Imagine the #rail drama!

This is the second #eurocine film I've seen recently where the drama quotient would have benefitted from more #CrossborderRail problems thrown at the characters, imo. The first one was Plus que jamais, in which #VickyKrieps searches for #train tickets from Bordeaux to Norway on Ecosia, but inexplicably the #rail trip itself is brief and smooth as butter.

Ask and ye shall receive #CrossBorderRailcinema featuring irl European problems:
* not enough trains
* missed connections
* if your train breaks down in the afternoon you're stuck in Zany Belgium because NOT ENOUGH TRAINS
* 194 Euro Amsterdam to Paris ticket
* you have to look up tickets on some Dutch search engine called ZOEK

The train drama was a good excuse to get the (charismatic) protagonists stuck in Zany Belgium, well done.

Not really #CrossBorderRailcinema , but shot almost entirely on a train and overall tense and wonderful, as I've come to expect from ex-Yugoslav film making. And available for free, subtitled in French, German, Spanish, Polish and Italian because 🇪🇺 #ARTE rocks.
