One of two feature films by Sarajevo director Vesna Ljubić, known for her documentaries, meditative poetic style and authentic, witty portrayal of the little people. The film is set in a small Bosnian town where the local railroad is the only contact with the outside world. When the order to close it arrives, trouble ensues for the railroad workers, as well as the locals. The Last Switchman of the Narrow Gauge Railway is a nostalgic and humorous ode to the era of the narrow-gauge railway and its workers, and an authentic depiction of a small town where life revolves around its train station.
