Plot

In the intriguing triptych narrative of "Advantages of Travelling by Train," we follow the life of Helga Pato, a seasoned editor in her forties, thrust into a world of psychological complexity during an ordinary train journey. Her world is turned upside down when she encounters Ángel Sanagustín, a psychiatrist who introduces her to the haunting tale of his patient, Martín Urales (Chapter One). Martín, a war veteran from Kosovo, is intertwined with the compelling Dr. Linares, who makes a heart-wrenching pact to save countless lives. Her mission to establish a children's hospital in a war-torn land comes with a dark price: the sacrifice of one child per month to her patrons' deplorable desires. Upon his return home, Martín is dismissed by his father, leading him into a life of desolation. The chapter concludes abruptly when Sanagustín disembarks to buy candies, leaving behind a folder of medical records that piques Helga's curiosity. Chapter two serves as a mirror, reflecting Helga's own tumultuous past. As she sifts through the medical documents, memories resurface of her relationship with Emilio, a seemingly tranquil man who descends into madness, seeking to transform Helga into a canine entity. After a narrow escape, aided by potent drugs and a brief refuge with her mother, Helga finds Emilio in a deranged state, providing her with enough motive to commit him to a mental institution. Fascination takes hold in the final chapter, as Helga, driven by the enigmatic folder, embarks on a quest to unravel the mysteries behind the psychiatric records. As she delves deeper, she soon realizes that the truth about Sanagustín and Martín is far more twisted and perilous than she could have ever anticipated. "Advantages of Travelling by Train" is a captivating journey through the labyrinth of the human psyche, where reality is as elusive as it is dangerous.
