In 1940, Georg, who would be "cleansed" by the fascists, needed to flee to the only safe place left - Marseille. In times of crisis like these, he promised to do a friend a favor by sending two letters to George Weddell, a communist writer living in a nearby hotel, after which he could be arranged to travel to Marseille. When Georg arrived at the hotel room, the writer had committed suicide for fear of persecution from the fall of the city. Georg took the writer's legacy - the final manuscript, two letters that were not delivered - one from the writer's wife and the other a visa guarantee from the Mexican embassy, which allowed him to get a visa Escape to America from Marseille. With these documents, Georg escorted a North African refugee with a leg injury to Marseille. When the train arrived in Marseille, Georg discovered that his companion had died of a festering infection. He evaded the police who were interrogated by layers and brought the news of his companion's death to his companion's family, where he met his youngest son and mute wife who liked to play football. Georg, who has no legal status, was mistaken for author George Weddell when he was processing identification documents at the police station. He realized that this identity would allow him to escape to the Americas smoothly, so he replaced the identity of the writer. Before that, he met a mysterious woman, the woman is Mary, the wife of the dead writer George, who has repeatedly mistaken Georg for her husband. Georg impersonates George's plans to leave France, which is disrupted by this unexpected encounter and an unplanned love affair

aside...aside=. = The director is very ambitious. Photography is good. The lazy narration reduces a lot of possibilities, and the feeling of haunting that should have been completely lost, feeling dragged on for a century. Pretending to be a ghost, the look and feel is very poor.

The original is a classic German exile literature depicting the lives of exiles stranded in Marseille during World War II. The film presents the current refugee problem from a unique perspective of World War II, completing an excellent grafting of the times and the advancement of refugee themes. / After witnessing exile compatriots being taken away by violent institutions, the shame of the onlookers narrated by the narration always haunts everyone, which is undoubtedly isomorphic with the shame of Auschwitz survivors. /The mysterious woman is the most vague existence in the film, and with the clarity of her identity, she also shows a rare firmness under the turmoil of the current situation and people's hearts. And what strikes me the most about the movie (which seems to be criticized but) is the "out of place" romance that flows out of a sense of spreading tragedy. I believe this is another illusion of reality that Petzold is trying to construct in a bad reality.

Marie: The Forsaken never forget, you say. But that's not true. They have the beautiful, sad songs. With them is the compassion. Those who leave, there is nobody with them.They do not have songs.

The theme of European refugees can cross and intertextualize with the Nazi history of World War II. This movie is too scary
