Title in English-speaking countries: Man on the Train.
Better translation for the title: Man from the Train.
A man arrives at a small town with the intent of robbing the local bank. He meets by chance a local who invites him to stay at his place. Between them an improbable friendship develops.
The essential idea behind the story is that everyone of us lives only half a life; our choices inevitably preclude experiences which are antagonistic in nature to them. The film has two men who chose opposite paths meet and contemplate what they have missed out of life's possibilities. An interesting film which could be reduced to half its size with profit. The girlfriend sections are irrelevant and frankly not well done at all (some of her lines are cringeworthy). The robber's quirky partner is a funny notion but, again, adds nothing to the film's essential point. The two main actors are perfect for the parts.
