Compartment No. 6
Hytti nro 6
Fleeing a fizzling romance in Moscow, a young Finnish woman boards a train to the Arctic and is forced to share a cramped sleeper with a boorish Russian miner — a grating pairing that slowly, unexpectedly warms. A tender, wintry road movie.
Why it’s here
A young Finnish woman escapes an enigmatic love affair in Moscow by boarding a train to the arctic port of Murmansk. Forced to share the long ride and a tiny sleeping car with a larger than life Russian miner, the unexpected encounter leads the occupants of Compartment No. 6 to face major truths about human connection.
