A short scene shot by chance in a half-empty night train, in which an automatic door with a motion sensor has lost control or disembodied beings are constantly entering and exiting the car. The registration of ghosts from the afterlife in a visual image is one of the popular genres of early photography in the late 19th century accompanying spiritualistic sessions. The automatic door is invisible by design, but when it fails, it becomes the Deus ex machina, the MacGuffin, the engine of a mysterious plot.
