Esperanza Sanchez Espitia's Introduction:

When I received the invitation to participate in Regina Selects, the film that came to my mind was Night Train to Lisbon. I love this film. I want the public in Regina to have the opportunity to enjoy it too. This film is captivating from the beginning until the end. Night Train to Lisbon immerses the audience in a philosophical journey in which loneliness will never be seen in the same way. The film makes us realize that happiness is not a stroke of luck but a simple act of courage.
