Night on the Galactic Railroad

Japan's most beloved children's book is now a hauntingly beautiful feature film.

A philosophical, visually transcendent journey through a surreal landscape that uses a magical train ride to explore isolation, friendship, meaning, and the nature of existence itself.

Giovanni currently lives a dreary life of near non-stop work. At school, his peers ridicule him incessantly, and his employer at work is distant and cold. As his isolation from society becomes unbearable, he suddenly finds himself on a train heading far away from his miserable home. Accompanied by Campanella, an acquaintance from school, Giovanni embarks on a journey that will define the rest of his life.
