Movie idea: an introverted Finnish boy from Kemijärvi and an extroverted Portuguese girl from Lagos connect on an online forum about action.

They decide to meet halfway. Defying their families wishes to travel by plane they'll travel with three day passes, the furthest their budget reaches.

Will their love overcome the harsh reality of the European train system?

Probably I'm just bitter because DB just suspended service to my station for a month due to construction works 😄

Come to think of it, my only journey to Portugal by rail was in the late 80s and the major impediment was an ETA bomb threat.

I should've known someone would ask.

It's long been deleted from Youtube as some company claimed copyright on it (meaning they can "monetize" it) and YT has no real mechanism to fight that. Tomorrow I'll see if I can find it on my local storage.

Closest I got was a of my cat licking its own arse that somehow got a million YT views..

I do think this is in essence a good idea. Naturally there's many ways to go (handheld camera fake documentary style, narrated anthology etc) and lots of subplots to include. Anyone interested can contact me and I'd happily collaborate as it sounds like something that can potentially grow into something interesting.

Fantastic idea. I'm sure EU would support the project too. I remember an action (?) tv series a some years ago called "The Team" I think this was also supported by EU funding.

Malmö to Haparanda is about 1500 km.And Malmö to Lagos (Portugal) is about 3100 km. I think that puts the middle somewhere just north of Frankfurt am Main.

That is, if I managed to pick "only train routes" and my rough distance estimates aren't too far off.

If you pick Helsinki (and ignore any route that takes you on a ferry from Sweden to Finland...), the halfway point is approximately Hamburg.

Some people met on the train:
- rude and offending white business guy compkaining aboug a three-minute-delay
- train nerd, talking two hours about different signaling systems. @langsamfahrt can provide contacts.
- Parents following their little children exploring the length of the train. Twice.
- Relaxed couple bringing their own tablecloth to the bord bistro to celebrate their kanelbullar and tea/coffee.
