About
The personal matters are the most political, beginning with the letters of love.
"Transit" is the director's film diary about a trip whose farewell was marked by social unrest in Mexico City. The first stop is Barcelona, which portrays his immigrant status and uprooting parades, along with loss of identity and the Spanish economic crisis. That crisis will become the reason for a renewed flight to Morocco to investigate a case of injustice, then would come Russia and the new illusions of love and afterwards a new departure to the Sahara Desert, with its confused dreams and its paths of no return.
