Transit
Transit is a German language 2018 film from director Christian Petzold . It's about wartime refugees, principally Georg who is desperate to get out of France while the invaders advance. We see him first in Paris; he's about to head South to Marseilles with a badly injured friend, and then hopefully a boat to freedom, but first he's asked to take a letter to another would-be refugee, a famous writer . When he gets to the man's lodgings, he finds he's too late - the writer has committed suicide. Unsure what to do, he scoops up the scattered papers and heads for the railway tracks where he hops into an empty freight cabin with his ailing companion; who sadly dies as they arrive in Marseilles . He narrowly escapes the guards. Those two deaths seed the rest of the narrative. He becomes involved with his departed friend's family , the widow - who's deaf and dumb - and the son. He knocks about a football with the boy, and though it might have been no time
