Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru

While his classmates enjoy a festival, Giovanni carries the loneliness of an absent father, a sick mother and work that keeps him apart from other children. Then he finds himself aboard an impossible train, with his friend Campanella beside him and the Milky Way stretching outside.

Their journey passes strange landscapes and travelers whose stories mingle wonder with grief. Giovanni wants this companionship to last forever, but every stop brings them closer to the meaning of the railway, and to a parting he is not ready to understand.
