“Train in the Snow is a Croatian (then SFR Yugoslavia) children and adventure film directed by Mate Relja. It was released on June 10, 1976. It is based on the children’s novel Vlak u snijegu written by Mato Lovrak (1899–1974), then a young schoolteacher inspired by actual events, in 1933…. At the behest of their teacher, fourth grade schoolchildren in a small Croatian village found an old-style Slavic Zadruga and organize a field trip to Zagreb. On their way back, their teacher gets ill and must stay in a hospital. As the children travel back on their own, the train gets blocked by a snowdrift. With the help of the children, the railroad workers manage to clear the way.“ –Wikipedia
