Description:

In this historically-set film, we're introduced to an unexpectedly diverse group of individuals sharing a journey aboard a single carriage during the tumultuous period of the French Revolution. Their goal, while not explicitly stated, seems to involve an attempt to claw back control over their lives - or perhaps even time itself - in the face of chaos that threatens to engulf France. As they travel together, each passenger reveals personal stories marked by resilience and determination. This unlikely alliance forges connections amidst a backdrop of war and social upheaval, ultimately painting an intimate portrait of humanity's indomitable spirit under duress.
