Production notes

There's something mystical about old railways: the wooden interior, the mighty steam engines and a certain kind of nostalgia evoking memories of stories about daring and ruthless men who came to power sometimes over night.
When I asked the German actor Bastian von Bömches one day to play the part of a Rail Baron, he agreed immediately. Here's our interpretation of the subject.


Cast: Bastian von Bömches
