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 yearning for human connection.

"COMPARTMENT NO 6 is an arctic road movie, perhaps it could be seen as a clumsy attempt to find harmony and peace of mind in a world of chaos and anxiety" - Director Juho Kuosmanen. This is Juho's second feature since his much-loved debut, THE HAPPIEST DAY IN THE LIFE OF OLLI MAKI, made the festival rounds.

Available online from Saturday, September 25 at 9 AM to Monday, September 27 at 9 AM.
