The main theme of Central Station (1998), a Walter Salles' cinematographic masterpiece, is separation, loss. The main characters are an unreliable middle-aged woman (Dora) and a child (Josué). Both of them experienced painful losses in the past and, together, have been now looking for his father. In the course of their journey, they both have found a way to repair the damages they suffered earlier in their lives. The way they have found arises from the "attachment" they have gradually developed for each other - an attachment which is fraught with ambivalence.

Palabras clave : railway station; child; search for father; journey of discovery; separation; loss.
