In Christian Petzold’s brilliant and haunting modern-day adaptation of Anna Seghers’ 1942 novel, Transit Visa, Georg, a European refugee (Franz Rogowski), flees to Marseille, trying to stay one step ahead of the advancing German army. Assuming the identity of a recently deceased writer whose papers he is carrying, Georg enters into the delicate and complex culture of the refugee community, becoming enmeshed in the lives of a young mother and son and falling for a mysterious woman named Marie (Paula Beer). (Germany, France, 2018, 101 mins, German, French | Dir. Christian Petzold)

Presented in collaboration with the German Film Office, an initiative of the Goethe- Institut and German Films.
