Cast:
The great detective Hercule Poirot boards the famous Orient Express in Istanbul. It seems that representatives of all possible nationalities and social strata are traveling with him on this luxurious train. The extremely comfortable journey does not promise any unpleasant surprises, but the very next morning, one of the passengers is found dead in his compartment. Poirot has to take up the investigation – and soon finds out that the compartment is full of clues pointing to… almost all the passengers! Will the world-famous detective be able to solve this strange case?
Director Laura Groza: "Agatha Christie's iconic novel awakens the desire to estimate the responsibility of each person in the context of the murder that occurred and the inner need to commit a possible criminal act. Because everyone is probably guilty: even if only one person actually committed the murder, in the end, everyone had a hand in it, because the power of thought is also power.
And Hercule Poirot is truly haunted by a curse - to always be at work, even on vacation... Let's not underestimate either his disappointment or confusion when faced with a crime. The story seems to be known, but in fact nothing is known. Let's investigate!"
