Synopsis

May 1968: The student protests in West-Berlin are in full swing, and in the middle of it all, my 21-year-old brother Reinhard. He openly flirts with socialist tenants, partly out of protest against our conservative father. Reinhard resolves to take drastic measures and relocate to East Germany a complete scandal. It is the last we hear from him.

Eight months later, in January 1969, Reinhard is found dead. His suicide is baffling. What drove him behind the Iron Curtain, and what happened to him there?

Nearly forty years later, I go in search of traces of his short life in East Germany. Along the way, I encounter several people who, like my brother, went against the current from West to East. Like the exiled Berlin Jew Salomea G, who chose the other system and joined the communist party as an IM (unofficial employees). Or Henriette S., who as a child moved to East Germany with her mother, only to flea to the West with her daughter in 1974. Later she got imprisoned by the State Security.

Twenty years after the demise of East Germany, TRANSIT uses my family's story as a point of departure for examining the reasons behind all these decisions and the allure of the other Germany.

User reviews

Daniel Williams
6/10

On the other hand, some of the musical choices in Transit feel repetitive and fail to fully immerse the audience in the setting of post-war Germany. While the use of traditional German folk music adds authenticity to the film, at times it distracts from the central narrative and loses its impact. This inconsistency in the soundtrack detracts from the overall viewing experience and could have been improved with a more diverse range of musical styles.

Betty Jones
8/10

Each musical piece in the film evokes a sense of nostalgia and mystery, perfectly reflecting the historical setting of post-war Germany and the personal struggles of the characters.

Kimberly Phillips
8/10

The soundtrack of Transit beautifully captures the emotional depth and complexity of the story, enhancing the viewer's connection to the characters and their journeys.

Michael Jones
4/10

The soundtrack of Transit did not effectively capture the historical setting of the film. The music felt out of place and did not transport me to the time period of May 1968 in West-Berlin, failing to enhance the overall viewing experience.

Michelle Gonzalez
2/10

I found the choice of music in Transit to be distracting rather than immersive. The songs did not blend seamlessly with the narrative, making it difficult to fully engage with the film.

Margaret White
8/10

The haunting melodies and subtle nuances in the soundtrack create a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the movie ends, adding a layer of depth to the narrative and enhancing the overall viewing experience.

Emily Moore
1/10

The soundtrack of Transit was lackluster and failed to evoke any emotional connection with the story. The music felt generic and did not enhance the scenes or help in creating a compelling atmosphere.

Matthew Jones
6/10

The soundtrack of Transit effectively captures the tension and uncertainty of the turbulent historical period portrayed in the film. The somber and haunting melodies create a sense of foreboding that mirrors the protagonist's emotional journey as he delves into the mysteries surrounding his brother's death in East Germany.
