Antwerp Central takes the viewer on a journey through the physical and mental space of Antwerp's railway cathedral. Drawing inspiration from the book Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald, Peter Krüger approaches the station as a magical realistic location where present and past, history and daily life, fiction and reality are in constant flux. Running as a thread through the film are the dreams and reminiscences of a traveler, played by Johan Leysen, who arrives at Antwerp Central and through whose eyes we observe the station.
