The Last Train

A feature film taking place in Germany 1943. The story of a group of Jews, from the point of being arrested to their foreseeable end in a concentration camp. In the last days of WWII they were penned up in cattle cars of a “special train” and carried off to Auschwitz, like thousands of Jewish people. In the course of this agonising journey more than half of them die of thirst. The episodes from some of the families’ previous lives shown in flashbacks are in stark contrast to what they are enduring. Yet the doomed occupants' will to live in spite of their claustrophobic and shattering situation in the cattle car is central. But will it be strong enough for anyone to survive this hell on rails?
