Wealth, opportunity, and discord collide along the route of a new railroad bridging Europe and Asia.
Amid the attempt to revive a ‘new Silk Road’ between Europe and Asia, Azerbaijani men labour to build a new railroad that promises to bring glory to a new generation.

A journey by rail, where men reflect upon desire and regret, floating through a Eurasian expanse, striving to fill their days and dreams, as much as their pockets.
