The daily life in a third class carriage of the Trans-Siberian, named Vostok N°20. Between discomfort, shared meals, boredom and confidences to strangers, we pass the time as we can. In a breath, the poems of Marina Tsvetaeva, read by Fanny Ardant, illuminate the feelings of the passengers: their solitude, their desires for freedom and love. In this convoy, as ordinary as it is mythical, the author’s Russia merges with that of the passengers.
