Film Overview
A gritty story of a teenage kid caught up in a world of violence and crime, TRAIN OF DREAMS is so realistic that it's hard to believe this is not a documentary. Tony is a 17-year-old Montreal skinhead whose constant antisocial rage lands him in a correction center for young offenders. There his sullen attitude and refusal to cooperate seem hopeless until a teacher reaches him through music. With Tony's breakthrough comes the realization that he alone is responsible for his fate. This even-handed examination of teenage delinquency is a tour-de-force.
