Pasternak starts with Yuri's mother's funeral, then shows a few years later how Misha Gordon is traveling with Yuri's estranged father and is a witness to his death. From there it shows the EXACT SAME TIME but from the standpoint of different characters (i.e., the train stopping suddenly for no reason). Yuri doesn't know when he's praying that his father at that minute has died.
How is that fragmented?
