A Tram Runs Through the City

“You have to love people, really. If you don’t, you’ll get them trapped in the tram doors,” says the central figure Lyudmila. She takes the viewer on three of her shifts as a tram driver; she speaks frankly and tenderly about her profession and introduces her passengers. People, streets, light and mood change, and with them an image of Leningrad takes shape.
