Plot

Our whole life consists of sheer fuss. People all the time somewhere in a hurry, in a hurry, run ... In the dizzy everyday bustle, sometimes we even have no time to take a breath. But there must be a balance in everything. And if we can not stop in time, the city will do it for us. There are traffic lights on which you can slow down and spend a moment in simple waiting. And there are railway crossings, where you will have to stand a little longer, peering into the distance and looking for the silhouette of an approaching train, and also calculate how many cars there are. What thoughts come to their mind when the barrier suddenly blocks them further? For them, every day is a new story, the sounds of which are mixed with the noise of a train passing along the rails. This story of short stories tells us about everyday life and the conversations of young people, but at the same time different people on various topics, waiting at railway junctions.
