Paljas plot

Hendrik MacDonald, a middle-aged man, is in charge of a remote railway station. His career has clearly seen better days, but his wife Katrina and their two children, eighteen-year-old Emma and nine-year-old Willem are also not doing well. Four years ago Willem stopped talking and since then Katrina has stopped playing the piano. Then a circus comes along and stays next to the station for a few days. Willem gets to know a clown. It will profoundly change the family relationship.
