Transsiberian

Roy and Jessie, a married amarican couple, were doing some childrens-help work in China. After they finished their work, as an adventure in between they take the Trans-Siberian train from China to Moscow. It´s winter in Russia. A couple is sharing the cabin with them, Abby and Carlos. We notice right away that Carlos and Abby are strange, two people you shouldn´t trust. But nevertheless Roy and Jessie come along with them very well, even though we observe the looks that Carlos gives Jessie. On one stop Roy gets lost, Jessie searches the whole train for him, but he vanished. At the next station she decides to wait for him, solidary as they are Carlos and Abby go off the train to wait with Jessie. While Abby is away Carlos and Jessie make a tour to some church ruin. Jessie got a call before that Roy is fine and was just doing some seightseeing. She and Carlos are somehow attracted to each other, but as she backs down he tries to rape her. Jessie is not the helpless little girl as we learned before, and as Carlos doesn´t let go she apparently kills him. When the next Trans-Siberian train stops, Roy and his wife meet again and drive on together accompanied by a police officer, who starts to make Jessie extremly nervous when she finds out that Carlos was in fact a drug dealer and had exchanged the inside of their suitcases while he had had a shower in Jessies room in the hotel. And the nightmare just starts, because the police officer is involved in the drug-dealing. A wintery, snowy and cold movie, somehow weared but fascinating at the same time.
