Overview
Jozef embarks on a journey via a ghostly train to visit his dying father in a remote Galician sanatorium. Upon arrival, he discovers that the sanatorium exists in a realm where time is distorted—his father’s death has not yet occurred, as time here lags behind the outside world by an undefined interval. Jozef’s experiences become increasingly fragmented and dreamlike as he confronts various manifestations of his father, each representing different aspects of their relationship and his own psyche.

Viewing Notes
Neat to see this on the big screen. Unfortunate to have shithead talkers right behind us. Between them and the rapid breather munching on his twizzlers next to me, less than ideal situation for a very quiet and fascinating movie.
Around 15 minutes in I realized this was the same story as Hourglass Sanatorium. Unexpected but amusing. Still want to watch that one in Secret Cinema, especially since I missed it at the VAC last season.
