A railway stationmaster at a dying end-of-the-line village in Hokkaido is haunted by memories of his dead wife and daughter. When the railroad line is scheduled to be closed, he is offered a job at a hotel, but he is emotionally unable to part with his career as a railroader. His life takes a turn when he meets a young woman with an interest in trains who resembles his daughter.
Railroad Man (a.k.a. Poppoya) is a well-acted and moving film about a dedicated railroad worker who has lost everything, and is about to lose the one thing he has left. Recommended for those who want a memorable and emotional drama.
