The Ocean, a majestic luxury train, is the only passenger train between Montreal and Halifax. The film records a lyrical and dreamy journey from an intimate perspective - of sensations, fleeting moments and the minutia of life. Travelling a wide landscape, we stop to reminisce with local inhabitants whose testimonies belong to a bygone era.
