English Summary:

The Station Agent is a 2003 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Tom McCarthy. It stars Peter Dinklage as a man who seeks solitude in an abandoned train station in the Newfoundland section of Jefferson Township, New Jersey. It also stars Patricia Clarkson, Michelle Williams, Bobby Cannavale and John Slattery. For his writing achievement, McCarthy won the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay and the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay.

Finbar McBride (Peter Dinklage), a quiet, withdrawn, unmarried man with dwarfism, has a deep love of railroads. He works in a Rockaway, New Jersey model train hobby shop owned by his elderly and similarly taciturn friend Henry Styles (Paul Benjamin). Because he feels ostracized by a public that tends to view him as peculiar due to his size, Fin keeps to himself.

When Henry dies unexpectedly, Fin is told that the hobby shop is to be closed. However, he also learns that Henry's will left him a piece of rural property with an abandoned train depot on it. He moves into the old building hoping for a life of solitude, but he quickly finds himself reluctantly becoming enmeshed in the lives of his neighbors. Joe Oramas (Bobby Cannavale), a Cuban American, is operating his father's roadside snack truck while the elder man recovers from an illness, and Olivia Harris (Patricia Clarkson) is an artist trying to cope with the sudden death of her young son two years earlier and the ramifications it has had on her marriage to David (John Slattery), from whom she is separated; Olivia's initial and secondary meetings with Finn almost got him killed when she was distracted while driving her car. Cleo (Raven Goodwin) is a young girl who shares Fin's interest in trains and wants him to lecture her class about them. Emily (Michelle Williams) is the local librarian, a young woman dismayed to discover she is pregnant by her ne'er-do-well boyfriend.

Hungarian Summary:

Finbar McBridge egy olyan ember, aki megpróbál a saját szabályai szerint élni. Mivel a sors nagyon apró termettel áldotta meg, ki van téve az emberek állandó kíváncsiságának. Bár ezzel már megtanult együtt élni, mégis amikor elveszíti egyetlen barátját, úgy dönt, inkább remeteként folytatja tovább, és átköltözik a vidéki hangulatú New Yersey elhagyatott öreg vasútállomására. Itt azonban magány helyett szomszédjául kap egy frusztrált festőnőt, Oliviát és egy folyamatosan fecsegő hot-dog árust Joe-t. A sors ajándéka, hogy amikor a legkevésbé számítunk rá, akkor sodor az utunkba olyan embereket, akikről hirtelen nem is gondolnánk, milyen hatással lehetnek az életünkre, ha elég nyitottak és bátrak vagyunk. Pedig ha beengedjük őket a hétlakat alatt őrzött lelkünkbe, még a boldogság is ránk találhat újra - és akkor a törpéből óriás lehet, a fecsegő meghallgattatik és meghallgat másokat, és az önsajnálat belső pusztítása elfogadássá szelídülhet. Mert nincs az a mélység, amihez a barátság kötele ne lenne elég hosszú. Rajtunk áll megragadjuk-e.
