Opening sequence of the train and child in it and the burning car make this movie worth just because of it. Beautifully shot, it tells a story about old clockmaker and his delinquent son who never spoke to him, nor does he to him. And son got into trouble by killing some man over girl in factory that she was working. He is sentenced in prison for 20 years and in last scene he finally speaks to him, behind bars, telling him that his girlfriend is pregnant. I expected that clockmaker after leaving prison commits suicide by jumping into the river, but he didn't do it. Anyway, good adaptation of Simenon novel.
