Abstract

The existence of human beings seems to be a big trip towards something that is missing, with the sense that the world is strange. In Central Station, Walter Sales film, Dora and Josué are traveling, searching for something lost: the genesis, the father. This search takes place in the process of human contingency, lived as human insufficiency, showing the homogeneity, the horror, the nonsense, because everything seems to be the same thing, but it is in the religious experience that the world makes sense, that it is beyond the immanent. It is that experience that changes the ontological side of things. In Central Station this experience is lived universally.
