Very good film with very good actors, the love story between the protagonist and the German woman is very moving, not at all sugary, two crippled by the war learn to love and respect each other. The scene of the restoration of the bridge for the abandoned train to cross is breathtaking and will remain etched in my mind for a long time. But there are some details that I didn't like. We see a camp where they are people who were supposed collaborators of the Germans. What do these people eat? They fish, they kill animals and eat them, they cultivate but where can you cultivate with so much snow all around, where do they find the coal to run the trains? They don't give us details about life in the camp. Who brings them food and supplies? When the protagonist arrives at the camp there are 2 trains running and he also brings the abandoned train and there are 3 trains. 3 trains are moving up and down the tracks, people are racing, laughing, having fun but what are they doing? They don't show anyone driving the train for serious work eg going to a neighboring town to bring supplies, bring coal, working seriously. The protagonist takes the train, leaves, comes, leaves again, comes again, what exactly does he do? Does he just travel back and forth on the rails? We don't see him doing a specific job. Racing and fun is not a serious reason for running trains. I think the writer should have explained more about life in the camp and the purpose of the trains moving back and forth. Despite the objections, the film is worth seeing, it is very good.
