Ostre sledovane vlaky aka Closely watched trains (1966) (7/10)

This Czeck movie is a delightful study of human nature. Set around a small railway station in occupied Czechoslovakia it is mainly a story of a young man trying to discover adulthood. He handles the signals at the station which is sometimes used by ammunition trains closely watched by the German troops. His journey is unfortunately not easy and is fraught with hot water, practically and self-fetched too. But that experience puts him in the hands of a doctor who has words of advice for him. He tries to folow the advice literally creating some uncanny exchanges. People continue to be themselves though, including our hero Milos which finally turns out to be good for him. May be not entirely.
