De wisselwachter
Jos Stelling / NL, 1986 / 97 min.

The pointsman – a man who has hardly any contact with the outside world – becomes enchanted by a character who completely disrupts his day-to-day existence. But he’s not the only one: the postman also seems taken with this city lady, putting an end to the bucolic peace and quiet…
