One of those wonderful rare instances where all the hype on the DVD cover ("a profoundly moving tale of the human spirit") is not only true, but is an understatement. |

Inside Rio de Janeiro's bustling "Central Station", two very unlikely souls are about to become inextricably linked. When a young boy (Vincius de Oliveira) witnesses his mother's accidental death, a lonely retired schoolteacher reluctantly takes the child under her wing. Although initially distrustful of each other, the two form an uncommon bond as they venture from the bustling city to Brazil's barren and remote northeast region in search of the boy's father. Together, the two embark on a journey of the heart that restores the woman's spirit and teaches the child precious life lessons. A powerful tear-jerker of uncommon grace and heart, "Central Station" is destined to become a classic.
