One night Maloin, a switchman at a seaside railway station situated by a ferry harbor, witnesses a terrible event. He is just watching the arrival of the last ferry at night from his control room on top of a high iron traverse from where he can see the whole bay. Suddenly he notices that the first of the disembarking passengers, a tall thin figure (a certain Brown as it will turn out later) leaves the harbor, but not on the usual route: after getting through customs, he goes around the dock and then withdraws into a dark corner, waiting. Opposite him, in front of the ship, another man soon appears and throws a suitcase towards the man on the shore. He goes and picks it up, then waits in an dark corner for the other man to join him. When he arrives, however, they begin to quarrel and finally, in the course of the vehement fight, due to a hit that turns out to be fatal, the shorter one falls in the water and sinks, clutching the suitcase in his hand. Maloin is watching the scene, astonished. In a state of fear and shock, he opens the door of his control room, but the sharp and loud creaking sound disturbs and frightens away the murderer. Brown is forced to flee before being able to fish out the suitcase from the water. After the murderer disappears down one of the streets behind the harbor, Maloin cautiously climbs down from his cabin to the shore. When he realizes that there is nothing he can do for the victim, he dredges up the suitcase. He takes it up to his control room and opens it: it is packed with money. He is dazzled. He does not go either to call the police or fetch the murderer; he just stares at the pile of money. He simply cannot believe his eyes. Then, after meticulously drying and counting the banknotes, he hides the suitcase in his closet and locks it. At dawn, when his colleague arrives, he acts as if nothing had happened. He returns home on his usual route. Nevertheless, this path is not the same anymore; 魔鬼般的超级长镜头。FIFF13丨DAY9《来自伦敦的男人》：平静的镜头下隐藏的是无限的罪恶。好吧，来自伦敦的男人。漫长而寂静的一次旅行。故事很简单。一种悬疑却缓慢的温柔。唯一一部三年来第五次还看了十分钟就睡着的电影。节拍器吗？。一些想说的。来自伦敦的男人。 主人公Maloin（米罗斯拉夫·克罗博特 Miroslav Krobot 饰）是一个港湾铁路扳道工，某个夜里，他在高高的控制室内目睹了一桩可怕的谋杀案。一个来自伦敦的男人上岸，把一个皮箱交给另一个男人，随后二人在码头旁发生了冲突。在争吵打斗中，其中一个男人与皮箱一起跌落海中。扳道工Maloin随即打捞皮箱，打开后发现里面装有大量现金。他既没有报警也没有告诉别人，像往常一样工作生活。然而，自此之后这个扳道工的生活为之偏离了原来的轨道…… 本片改编自乔治·西默农的同名小说《L'homme de Londres》。
