*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I am not sure why this film is rated so poorly on IMDb--it is actually a pretty good short film and it has a nice little twist at the end that is highly reminiscent of another short, LAND OF MANY USES.

This film was set many, many decades ago aboard a boxcar. This one is seemingly occupied by a hobo. When another hobo appears behind some crates, it suddenly becomes clear that these are your stereotypical "nice hobos". The first one, a big fat guy, begins beating the stuffing out of the other--just because he can. Suddenly, he realizes that this hobo isn't what they appear to be--it's a woman! So, naturally, since he's a vicious hobo, he tries to rape her--at which point you hear a baby crying. There's a lot more to the film than this, but I don't want to spoil it.

The film has a nice cinematic quality about it--nice music, editing, direction, etc. It looks very nice. While the story itself isn't great, it's got some nice twists and is worth a look.
