Ghost Train

In the bustling heart of a modern Japanese city, the daily rhythm of commuters is punctuated by the metallic sigh of trains and the flicker of station lights. Beneath this ordinary façade lies a network of tunnels that, on a quiet morning, becomes the catalyst for a lingering unease. A sudden crash on the tracks shatters the familiar, turning a routine ride into a moment that feels both ordinary and otherworldly, as if the rails themselves are whispering secrets.

​Nana, a typical high‑school student with a keen eye for the strange, is the first to notice the disruption. She is joined by her close friend ​Kanae, whose pragmatic nature balances ​Nana’s curiosity. Their friendship, forged in classrooms and after‑school gatherings, becomes the anchor that keeps them grounded as they navigate the bewildering events that follow. Together they share the ordinary pressures of teenage life—schoolwork, family responsibilities, and the desire to understand a world that suddenly feels less predictable.

The accident awakens a series of uncanny phenomena: faint red fingerprints appear on cold metal, a solitary woman in an ethereal gown drifts along the platform, and the tracks themselves seem to vanish at certain points, hinting at something missing beneath the surface. When ​Nana’s younger sister disappears without a trace, the two girls feel compelled to seek answers, guided by the ghostly woman’s cryptic predictions and the growing sense that unseen forces are at play.

The film unfolds with a quiet, atmospheric tension, blending the everyday concerns of adolescence with a lingering, spectral mystery. Its tone is both haunting and wistful, inviting viewers to feel the pulse of the city while pondering the invisible threads that bind memory, loss, and the restless echoes that linger in forgotten corners of the subway.
