Trivia

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.

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.

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.
