La femme et le TGV (English: The Railroad Lady) is a 2016 Swiss French-language short film directed by Timo von Gunten.

[3] A lonely widow, Elise, lives next to a TGV railroad line in Switzerland and makes a point to wave a Swiss flag at the train during its twice daily passing.

Through her letters and phone calls, it is revealed that originally she waved at trains with her son, and when he grew up and moved away, she continued as a way to stay close to him.

Elise, still in her nightgown, races through the train station but gets to the platform just as the doors have been closed, leaving her visibly disappointed.

Back in town, Elise's bakery, after a closure for remodeling, reopens to a large crowd, with Jacques hired to help.
