Johnny Berlin (2005)
Jon Hyrns is a porter on a refurbished 1930s luxury train. Passengers on the Seattle-to-L.A. trip know him as "Johnny Berlin" - the man responsible for making their beds and cleaning their toilets. We get to know him differently - as a middle-aged, struggling writer with a workaday job and as many dreams as he has beds to clean. He's a true wanderer, whose plan is to spend his savings on a trip to Cambodia to write his long-gestating novel.
