A reality realised in an illusion ...... is more real than reality. 

 

A boy and a girl, both living in 21st century Hong Kong, have never met before. They fall asleep at the same time while taking the MTR and wake up in a railway carriage heading towards Moscow in 19th century Russia. They soon discover that they are stuck on the train and have no choice but to let it take them wherever it is going. As they make various stops along the way, they begin to realise that they are on a Chekhovian journey, where Chekhov's 19th century Russia providing echoes of their hometown. Somehow, the reality in illusion that they realise throughout the journey seems more real than the reality of their own.
