Alois Nebel (2011) 14

Czech Republic, Germany | 2011 | 87 min.

Alois Nebel serves at the Bílý Potok station in the Jeseníky Mountains. A loner, he is strangely hypersensitive; sometimes he exists in a fog in which trains from the past pass through his station, and he experiences long-hidden traumas. Thus, he finds himself in a psychiatric hospital. Here he meets Němý, an unknown silent man who crossed the Polish-Czech border and appeared at the station in Bílý Potok. Why is he here? Who is he looking for? An old picture he has might be a clue...
