Academy-award winning director Bille August has brought Pierre Mercier's bestselling novel NIGHT TRAIN TO LISBON to cinema screens.
The star-studded international cast is headed by Jeremy Irons, Melanie Laurent, Jack Huston, Christopher Lee and Charlotte Rampling. 
Raimund Gregorius is a high-school Latin teacher and an expert in ancient languages. His life is transformed following a mysterious encounter with a young Portuguese woman on the old Kirchenfeld Bridge in the beautiful Swiss city of Bern, whom he manages to save from jumping to her death in the icy waters below.
Raimund is intrigued but the woman disappears, leaving behind her coat. Inside it he discovers a book by a Portuguese doctor called Amadeu de Prado, which contains a train ticket. He spontaneously decides to use it, setting off on an adventurous journey to Lisbon.
