Closely Watched Trains #4 (Break My Heart)

Kurt Vonnegut:

"Last night, time and my body decided to take me to the movies. I saw The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, which I took very hard. To an unmoored, middle-aged man like myself, it was heart-breaking. That’s all right. I like to have my heart broken."

Closely Watched Trains #1

Ostre sledované vlaky/ Closely Watched Trains (Jirí Menzel, 1966)
I'm starting this series here and now, but what I really want to do is this: a little film montage of trains arriving in the train station, ppl saying goodbye to each other before getting on the train, trains leaving the train station, ppl traveling by train, trains arriving at their destination, ppl getting off the train and meeting other ppl.
