A bandit, a well-man, a working girl, a boy who doesn’t want to work, a girl who emigrates and a ghost looking for company. These and other characters inhabit a fantasy forest. Faced with the world of the poor, the world of the rich: the lords of the “pazo”, the summer visitors from Madrid and the landlady who exploits children because her hopeless bachelorhood has exacerbated her love of money. Among all, the train that borders the paths of the forest, which brings and carries passengers and is the only link that unites and separates them. Film based on the novel of the same name by the Spanish writer Wenceslao Fernández Flórez.
