Description

A weary schoolteacher finally hangs up his chalk after forty years, and with the quiet of an empty classroom behind him, he resolves to chase a restless yearning that has lingered since his youth. He once cared for an orphan boy, tried his hand at sea, as a beach warden and a guard, and even married the widow of a vineyard owner, yet none of those chapters satisfied the deeper pull toward something beyond the familiar hills of his homeland.

Now, aboard a rattling train that cuts through mist‑cloaked valleys and winds along jagged coastlines, he watches the world blur past: endless poplar rows, dark tunnels that swallow light, and open fields where rivers glint like blue glass. The journey is both a physical escape and a quiet pilgrimage, tinged with nervous anticipation as he arrives at a modest station that feels oddly empty, leaving him to wonder whether the promised destination lies just beyond the horizon or in the very act of moving forward.
