Take a ride in one of the 80 Trains around the World and discover the world! Watch this road movie shot on a train, traveling through more than 60 countries on six continents, and friend others worldwide who you might never otherwise meet. Jump on trains through breathtaking landscapes, snow covered plains, deserts and mountainous regions. Taiwan, India, Vietnam, Turkey, Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Israel, Australia, Russia, the USA, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Albania, Serbia, Morocco, Kenya, Algeria.

Dreaming between the rails, directors Robert and Erik Hof are passionate train travelers, who see the train as the ideal place for inspiring conversations and special observations: “The longer the distance of the trip, the more the traveler breaks away from the place he comes from. Hypnotized by the sound of the train and the changing landscape the traveler shows himself, honest and authentic”.

Focusing on faith in young people, their ability and determination to build an inevitably different and in many ways an improved world for us all to live in is the focal point of their interest. Dreams are told in the informal setting of a train compartment. Dreams, which are sometimes great, sometimes small, but wherever we go we get inspired and touched about the authentic testimonies of travelers.

It seems as if people where ever they live just want what all ordinary people want: A decent means of support, an active role for a better future regardless of ethnicity, religion or geography. Travelers along the rails of dreams tell that realization of these dreams is only possible in a world free of political oppression, free of religious divisiveness, free of intolerance.
