L'HOMME DU TRAIN (cert 12A)

In a small town in the French Alps, a mysterious man arrives by train. By chance, at a chemist's, he meets a single, retired teacher who invites him to stay in his huge house as the local hotel is closed. While the stranger meets accomplices to plan a bank robbery, a friendship blossoms between the two men.
