The train from ajaccio
Toget fra ajaccio
Sindre is travelling through Southern France accompanied by his sons:
two children he never should have brought along on such an aimless trip. He encounters people who seem to become influenced by him, but they themselves have no influence whatsoever on his further progress. At home, Sindre´s second cousin Nora is writing his story. Sometimes she wishes and imagines that Sindre were her brother, yet at the same time she is in love with him. Who are they, Sindre and Nora?
The Train from Ajaccio is an intense narrative of a journey that never seems to end.
