A Norwegian film from 2006 that serves to illustrate the disconnection natural man can feel in a utopian society. The entire movie is a dream sequence but appears real until the man slices a finger off and it magically re-attaches. Another dream sequence is where he is distraught (his girl friend admits to other men in her life but will move in with him because he has a bigger apartment) and throws himself in front of a train. After the one train hit he is hit by several others but awakens in the morning on the tracks and is able to stagger home.

His dream society finally ejects him and gives him a bus trip to reality.

Are the trains coming into the station? She likes him because he has a bigger a part? Sounds like a typically confusing euro film plot. Does it come with written words?

More like a subway. Most men and women of the fake society he is thrown into have no emotions. He is told by his girlfriend that she will move in with him because it would get her a larger apartment she is talking 3 rooms and a bath she is talking of space and not appliances.

The plot I would suggest is along lines of Kafka except the ending and several parts suggests he is just dreaming whereas Kafka tries to present these ideas as if they are reality. It is Norwegian with subtitles in English. I watched it on Amazon.
