Set on a second‑class train in Soviet Georgia, the cramped carriage forces passengers onto shelves and tight seats. An elegant blond man claims to be a world‑travelling actor, weaving stories that captivate most travelers. A stern‑looking passenger, however, carries a trained sparrow hidden in his coat, doubts the actor’s tales, and challenges him, leading to a heated confrontation.
