Train to Zaandam
The inevitable collision when deception meets its match.
​​
In the frigid dawn of a Dutch winter, Kurt, a disgraced former conductor, works alongside the enigmatic Regalia, a woman of shifting accents and dangerous unpredictability.

When a sharp-eyed tourist in a pink coat challenges their authority, their carefully constructed facade crumbles.
In the chaotic minutes that follow, Kurt and Regalia’s partnership reveals the brutal truth that in their world, survival often means leaving others behind.
