Trivia
Anna Seghers´s transit
According to Christian Petzold, in a way, all the scripts that he and his late collaborator Harun Farocki developed together were based more or less on the transit of the novelist Anna Seghers.
Based on real events
Anna Seghers, author of the novel the film is based on, was a woman of Jewish family that had to emigrate to Marselle to hide away in Mexico.
A paradox
Most of the things (cars, military uniforms etc) in this film couldn't physically exist unless the nazis were defeated, making the film paradoxical and therefore a sci-fi.
