Several days before Christmas in 2002 Antea set out from Zagreb to Split. She got on a train like so many times before. Her father came to meet her. Having exchanged greetings, they started towards the train platform, carrying their bags. In complete silence, out of nowhere, a locomotive appeared. In the blink of an eye Antea found herself under its wheels... The Iron Woman is a touching story about strength and incorrigible optimism of one young woman. This is a story about love and trust, a story about courage.
