Drawing on the found footage tradition, the train shot from Sherlock Jr. Buster Keaton becomes the base for an experiment in which the film narrative is reconstructed and new dramatic conflicts are created through specific editing procedures. Our hero wants to complete his task at any cost, but someone who has different plans stands in his way.
