OMNIBUS

Day after day, by dint of bringing him to his job, the old blue and yellow railcar has became some kind of friend to JeanLouis Martichoux. But today, since timetable change, she betrays him, she won't stop at Cateau, he'll be late at work, probably get fired, and his whole life will drown under a cascade of dramatic events. The ticket inspector can't do anything but bring him to Errol, the machine operator…

"Why have I made this picture? Obviously for many reasons. To start with, I have had this desire for a long time. Besides that, the professional circumstances have given me the opportunity to bring together at that particular moment all the talented people necessary and imprescindible to help me in this project. And above all, this story represents the very 'typical' aspects I like in the exercise of shortfilms: a undeniably useful dramatic scheme, with an introduction, a development, and a conclusion..."
