Based on the French sci-fi comic “Snow Train” by Jacques Loeb, the movie tells the story of a climate catastrophe after which the global temperature plummets and most of the human race on earth has perished, while the survivors are placed on a train with no end in sight.
The train’s rulers have divided the train into a hierarchy, with the ruling class in the front car, the middle class in the middle car, and the dark and dirty rear of the train for the underclass. This totalitarian rule is not only manifested in the control of resources, but also in the control of the mind and the spirit, and all the classes experience brainwashing education by the totalitarian rulers, who worship him like a god, except for the suffering underclass of the suffering People.
The hero of the movie is the representative of the underclass, who, degraded and despairing in the cruel living environment, begins to think about the injustice of this totalitarian rule and decides to lead the underclass in their revolt.
The film tells us that only through sacrifice and resistance can we break the bonds of power and realize true freedom and liberation.
