Synopsis

Passing through a quiet town, a train driver finds a bra caught on the vehicle and goes off in search of the garment’s owner like Prince Charming with the glass slipper. The daily journey undertaken by the train driver transforms into a playful tale driven by the search for Lady Luck and a piece of fabric. The tracks are located so close to the buildings that the residents need to take extra care with their laundry on the clothesline whenever the train passes by. Although a young orphan boy warns them with a whistle, items such as bed sheets often get caught on the train. On his last day of work, the engine driver finds a blue polka-dot bra on the locomotive when he returns to his home village. Out of loneliness and curiosity, he goes back to the village and starts to look for the owner of the blue bra.

Critics' reviews

"The most refreshing thing about this dialogue-free comedy is that it doesn’t slavishly invoke movies of the silent era a la The Artist (...) Helmer generates enough interesting sight gags to keep this from getting monotonous"
