As the noose tightens around the country, he assumes the identity of a dead writer with passage out of the country.

=0D=0A=Master filmmaker Cristian Petzold (Phoenix) creates a ghostly depiction of world in limbo, where those stuck are desperately awaiting the time when they may become human again. Transit channels its influences such as Vertigo and Casablanca, while creating a new space for their themes to resonate in a modern context.
=0D=0A=“With Transit, director Christian Petzold creates a Second World War adventure that is not a sentimental costume drama and a contemporary political parable that is not a didactic sermon — and produces a highly entertaining film into the bargain.”
