Plot

''Most'' is the story of a single Czech father who takes his eight-year-old son to work with him at the railroad drawbridge where he is the bridge tender. A day before, the boy meets a woman boarding a train who has a drug problem. Back at the bridge, the father goes into the engine room, and tells his son to stay at the edge of the nearby lake. A ship comes, and the bridge is lifted. Though it is supposed to arrive an hour later, the train happens to arrive early. The son sees this, and tries to warn his father, who is not paying attention and thus unaware of the oncoming train. Just as the oncoming train approaches, the son falls into the drawbridge gearworks while attempting to lower the bridge, leaving the father with a horrific choice to either kill his son or allow the train to crash. The father chooses to lower the bridge, the gears crushing the boy. The people in the train are completely oblivious to the fact that a boy died trying to save them, other than the woman the boy had met the day before, who happened to look out her train window. The movie ends, with the man wandering a new city and meeting a woman, holding a large baby.
