Friendships and growth on a hospital train

An intriguing film set during the October Revolution details events of a young nurse travelling on a hospital train tending wounded during the war. We follow her through a budding romance with a young soldier and her eventual discovery of her artistic skills through her association with a painter encountered on the train. Not a fast-moving film, but very interesting in the development of personal relationships and the impact of differing ideologies on them - but it's not boring!
