Station

Synopsis

On a cold autumn evening, a young mother and her bewildered daughter run to catch a train. There's been a delay. On the station, we watch the other travellers from the girl's point of view as the veneer of civilised behaviour cracks under the strain of waiting. The girl's wild imagination has the ability to transform banal reality wherever she looks.

A smart romantic comedy. Jed prepares to interview French cineaste and self-appointed expert on the nature of love - Thierry Grimandi. The worldly and somewhat jaded Jed is dead-set on dismissing the auteur's musings as pompous and, well French, until his own relationship with Cheryl starts to fall apart and he is forced to re-evaluate the illusive subject. Soon everyone is talking about love: his relationship counsellor, drinking buddy Marcus and Marcus' girlfriend Sophie. Beginnings, endings, tricks - could the French be on to something?
