Synopsis
Spoiler shield

A train with all the passengers disappears in the subway. Sometimes the sound of a passing train can be heard in the tunnels, but no one sees it. A young mathematician develops a theory: because of the opening of a new line, the train has fallen into another dimension.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
