The age-old conflict between the wealthy and the oppressed is represented by two individuals in a shared train compartment. Inspired by the 1936 Spanish Civil War in which Fascist Nationalist forces led by Francisco Franco fought against the Popular Front government and bringing to mind the events of 2025.
