This documentary dealt with the divide in kosovo between the serbs and the albanians.  The documentary is based upon a train which runs between one end of the country to the other, passing through the 2 conflict areas. 

In the film the train seems to be the link between the 2 areas, uniting the areas, as they are working and traveling together, creating civilisation between the 2 areas.  This gives the train more symbolism than just a train carry people and cargo from one place to another.  It is shown as a link between the 2 areas and taking the people on a journey together to civilisation and unity.

I found the film interesting in the way in which it had been structured, to look as though it had been shot over the duration of just one day.  Also the way in which they have used there own language even though they are different to each other to show they are from different areas but they are all taking there journeys on the same train.
