EditTransit (2018)

When Georg, a German refugee, finds the writer Weidel dead after having committed a suicide, an unexpected opportunity opens for him. Georg takes the identity and the documents of the writer and leaves Paris, trying to escape the Nazi invasion in France. From the capital city, Georg travels to Marseille which is a transition point to other countries. However, leaving Marseille is not so easy and our ‘writer’ is stuck in the port city. While waiting to leave the country, Georg meets a mysterious woman named Marie. He falls in love with her without expecting to find out that it is Marie Weidel, the wife of the writer whose identity Georg has stolen. Being a film adaptation of a 1942s book by Anna Segher, “Transit” manages to imply that the past is not as far as it may seem.
