What happens

The Dog Who Loved Trains (Serbo-Croatian: Pas koji je voleo vozove, Serbian Cyrillic: Пас који је волео возове), is a 1977 Yugoslav film directed by Goran Paskaljević. The film was nominated for the Golden Bear award at the 28th Berlin International Film Festival in 1978. The plot revolves around three completely different people - a girl who escapes from prison, a former movie stuntman who imitates Western scenes in the province, and a young man who believes in friendship and love. They meet and part ways in search of their own imagined worlds. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
