A haunting, symbolism-laden stop-motion nightmare about a solitary woman's metaphysical journey through a train haunted by her past and the menace of strangers.

Madame Tutli-Putli boards the Night Train, weighed down with all her earthly possessions and the ghosts of her past. She travels alone, facing both the kindness and menace of strangers. As day descends into dark, she finds herself caught up in a desperate metaphysical adventure.
