Night on the Galactic Railroad

Lonely and bullied Giovanni is working to support his ailing mother when he suddenly finds himself aboard a mysterious steam train hurtling through the stars with his best friend Campanella. Their journey carries them past luminous celestial stations and encounters with passengers bound for an unknown final destination. Adapted from Kenji Miyazawa's unfinished novella, the film is a lyrical meditation on loneliness, friendship, and the passage into death.
