Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru

A young boy named Giovanni, living in a quiet hill town, sets out to buy milk for his sick mother and ends up boarding a steam-powered train that travels faster than light across the Milky Way. As the train passes through different constellations, it stops at stations that resemble planets, each offering unique encounters and strange characters. The experience blurs the line between reality and imagination, with the journey evoking themes of life’s passage. The characters are all drawn as cats, a choice made to simplify the animation of human figures. The story unfolds at a calm, meditative pace, creating a surreal and poetic atmosphere.
