A railway crossing in the middle of nowhere. Two wooden huts stand facing each other, surrounded by bright yellow hills and a wide-open horizon. Two guards: Λonesome Yannis, who never leaves his post, and easygoing Antonis, attuned to the idle landscape. Every once in a while, a voice from the speaker announces the arrival of a train. The two guards lower the barriers manually. Nothing seems to stir their daily routine. But when the time comes, love will find you wherever you are, shattering all certainties. A romantic and Arcadian western.
