2018 · 102 min · Drama

A German refugee fleeing fascist forces reaches Marseille and assumes the identity of a dead writer to secure passage out, only to fall for the man's widow amid a limbo of exiles waiting to escape. Christian Petzold's haunting drama that collapses past and present.

Why it’s here

Christian Petzold’s German perspective turns Marseille’s ports, consulates, cafés, and history of exile into a suspended social world.
