The Man In The Train

  A respectably bourgeois couple, Manto and her husband, decide to go by car to Nafplion, along with a group of friends. At a train crossing, Manto sees someone she knows in one of the windows of the passing train. She becomes very upset, on the verge of fainting, but manages to control herself. A little later, she sees the same man at the ancient theater of Epidaurus during a performance of Medea. And, as if that weren’t enough, the man is staying at their hotel. He looks exactly like Giorgos Pavlidis, the love of her life, a man whom everybody thought was killed by the Germans, but who, from what it seems, is alive. For a moment, Manto is thinking of abandoning everything for his sake: settled life, husband, children and home, but the man from the train chooses another solution: he disappears, leaving things the way they were.
