THE TRAIN - Short Treatment
On a legendary luxury train making its final journey across Europe, a select group of guests gathers for an exclusive farewell voyage-an elegant event tat doubles as a private auction of the train itself. Wheat begins as a rarefied celebration of history and prestige becomes a moving pressure cooker of secrets, rival agendas, and unseen watchers.
As the train cuts through borders and night landscapes, intersecting lives come into quiet collision: a disciplined professional carrying a violent past, a former soldier trying to protect the one person who matters most, intelligence operatives pursuing opaque objectives, and observers trained to read the smallest tells in human behaviour. Each passenger believes they are traveling for their own reasons. Non of them is truly anonymous.
Confined to polished corridors and velvet-lit compartments, the journey becomes a study in tension- between duty and conscience, legacy and power, survival and sacrifice. The Train itself is both setting and metaphor: a beautiful machine in motion, carrying people toward choices they can no longer postpone.
The Train s a sleek, character-driven espionage thriller about the price of loyalty, the masks we wear, and the moment when a journey stops being about the destination and becomes about who you choose to be along the way.
