A railroad crossing in the middle of nowhere. Two log cabins facing each other. All around are yellow hills and an open horizon. Two watchmen: The lonely Giannis, who never leaves his post, and the relaxed Antonis, who follows the rhythm of the landscape. Every now and then a voice from an old radio announces the arrival of a train. The two guards manually lower the bars. Nothing seems to disturb their daily routine until love invades, shattering all certainty.
