A young Finnish woman escapes an enigmatic love affair in Moscow by boarding a train to the arctic port of Murmansk. Forced to share the long ride and a tiny sleeping car with a Russian miner, the unexpected encounter leads the occupants of Compartment no. 6 to face the truth about their own yearning for human connection.
The Jury awards a Commendation to Compartment No. 6 for its kind view on the encounter between two wounded people who would not choose each other even as neighbor. They both overcome solitude by walking the extra mile with the difficult other.
