"ALOIS NEBEL tells the tale of a Czechoslovakian train dispatcher who is haunted by the events in which he played a part during the Second World War. In 1989, just as the Berlin wall falls, Alois ends up in an asylum, but when he gets out, he has no job and can't quite adjust to the new social and political realities. Just as he reaches the end of his tether, he meets a woman who might just provide the love and support he so badly needs."
