Fermanagh Film Club’s last film of the spring season, ‘Compartment No. 6’, will be screened at the Ardhowen Theatre, Enniskillen on Wednesday, April 26.
Compartment No. 6 follows a young Finnish archaeology student Laura, who is convinced by her lecturer – and lover – to take a trip to an ancient site of petroglyphs near the Arctic Circle.
When she embarks on the long-distance train journey to take her there, she has to share her carriage with Ljoha, a seemingly foul-mouthed, misogynistic drunk travelling to his new job as a miner.
Initially, they despise each other, but the more time Laura spends with Ljoha, the more they connect and Ljoha reveals an unforeseen kindness beneath his macho façade...
Winner of the Grand Prix award at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, Finnish director Juho Kuosmanen’s ‘Compartment No. 6’ is a warm and unexpected tale of adventure, self-discovery and human connection.
The film is Certificate 15A and is presented in Russian and Finnish, with English subtitles.
