A train stops without warning in the middle of nowhere; a person has thrown himself on the rails. Inside the compartment the passengers are waiting, first impatiently later desperately. Lead together by destiny and trapped in the same coupé, the elderly married couple, the architect with tootache, the dreaming blonde, the busy businessman and all the rest to confront each other with their dreams, longings and anxiety and soon the discussions get on the wrong track. Has the train stopped outside Karlsruhe or are we actually in Qatar? What is the sleeping Arabian hiding in his backpack?
