Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The short documentary is one of the finest statements made on the prevailing atmosphere of the Cold War in post-perestroika, post-Cold War Europe. The film sketches the transition between two different worlds: Europe and the former Soviet Union. The scene is the railway station at Brest-Litovsk. Before a train can move on from Poland to Belorussia, the wheels of each of the carriages have to be adjusted to meet the conditions of a wider gauge a difference of only »89 mm« yet symbolic for the huge transformation from one mind-set to another. Meanwhile, while the changes are being made, train passengers from France and Germany, Holland and Poland, watch the ceremony mutely as much in dismay as in disbelief.
