Movie Description:
The moment the train leaves thestation without engineer Odd Horten aboard, he realizes the path ahead is a journey withoutprinted timetables and well-known stations. Horten has beenforced to retire after 40 years of traveling a very stable rail, and the platform does not feel like a safe place anymore.His orderly, solitary existenceis aboutto give way to a futureof unlikely adventures and puzzling dilemmas: will Horten ever travel by plane? Will hefinally sell his prized boat? How does Horten end up in a pairof women`s red high-heeledshoes? Will he survive a nighttime drive with a blindfolded manat the wheel? O HORTEN is Bent Hamer`s wonderfully skewed viewof the human condition, and gives us that somewhat absurdist vision with great warmth,a little melancholy and universal appeal.
