Provincial gigolos and leopard-clad ladies, rigorous businesswomen and young soldiers: you can meet all possible, and often impossible, kinds of characters while commuting on a train in Ukraine. The project depicts certain types of Ukrainian passengers as well as the stereotypes about them, with the boundaries between reality and fiction completely erased. It was inspired by Julie Poly's own observations but also by her real experience: she graduated from a railway university in Kharkiv and spent a whole summer working as a conductor.
