Synopsis: | Sitting in the makeshift and sadly shrunken waiting room of the Cincinnati railroad station, Neva Jo tries to divert her restless children with stories of her youth, when the railroads were in their glory and her traveling salesman father often took her with him on his far-flung and exciting trips. They are waiting for one of the now infrequent trains, and Neva Jo laments the deterioration. A young soldier comes by and but senses that Neva Jo and her brood are not really going on the arriving train-which only heightens her alienation. As the train arrives mother and children pick up their belongings to depart, not to board the train but to go back to the numbing routine of a life from which, for a brief time, they have found some measure of escape. | |||||

Synopsis: | Waking up in the jail of a small Texas town, hungover from the excesses of the night before, an irrepressible young rock star tries to strike up a conversation with her jailer. She is a public person-brash, earthy and demonstrative while he is a very private, self-contained young man who refuses to be impressed by her taunts and boasting. But gradually, as their defenses lower, and they begin to sense that they have more in common than their respective role-playing might indicate, the two achieve a kind of intimacy and harmony. When she is finally picked up by a colleague they are suddenly strangers again-but we know that both have been changed, and more than they might realize by their encounter. | |||||
