Tickets

Directed by Ermanno Olmi, Ken Loach, Abbas Kiarostami

Written by Abbas Kiarostami, Paul Laverty, Ermanno Olmi

A train travels across Italy toward Rome. Onboard is a professor who daydreams a conversation with a love that never was; a family of Albanian refugees who switch trains and steal a ticket; three brash Scottish soccer fans en route to a match; and a complaining widow travelling to a memorial service for her late husband who's accompanied by a community-service volunteer who's assisting her. Interactions among these Europeans turn on class and nationalism, courtesy and decorum, and opportunities for kindness.
