Cee, a young pregnant woman, finds herself on a badly damaged train slowly transcribing its way across a bleak post-apocalyptic landscape. Flood, war, starvation and a plague of death threaten the train’s passengers. Cee struggles against these dangers while coping with memories of her lost husband and the imminent birth of her child.

The dark surrealism of a ruined world and the complexities of her deep personal dilemma force Cee to make significant discoveries about her life and the life of her unborn child.

Adapting the story from his graphic novel, John Bergin developed a unique animation technique to bring the original artwork to life -- transforming it into "paintings that move."
