Synopsis

Roelf, a train driver, has spent weeks searching for the identities of a mother and child he unintentionally killed with his train.

After a fruitless journey through shanty towns, he encounters an old gravedigger named Simon who helps the desperate man unburden his conscience.

Based on a true story, The Train Driver is a soulful exploration of guilt, suffering, and the powerful bonds that grow between strangers.
