Night Train

The film that introduced Diao Yi'nan (Black Coal, Thin Ice) as one of the most compelling young Chinese directors, is an atmospheric and dark story of a doomed love in the faceless and chaotic modern-day China.

Synopsis

In a prison for criminals condemned to death, a lonely and widowed correctional officer often travels with the night train to a neighboring town to meet men through a dating service. After many unsuccessful attempts, she will feel attracted to a mysterious man, without knowing that he is hiding a secret.
