In an attempt to flee Nazi-occupied France, Georg assumes the identity of a dead author but soon finds himself stuck in Marseilles, where he falls in love with Maria, a young woman searching for her missing husband.
This movie contains 2 potentially triggering events.
We briefly see two collies. Later on, the woman who was looking after them says that they're dead, and she doesn't want to talk about it. We don't see it happen or find out how or why they died. (NB. The comment about alligators must be referring to a different film - all my comments refer to Transit (2018) directed by Christian Petzold, which doesn't have alligators.)
The main character, Georg, takes on the identity of a dead writer in order to get a visa and leave the country. When he meets the writer's estranged wife, who is searching for her husband and doesn't know he is dead, Georg hides the truth from her, including after they sleep together.
At the very beginning a character has just had a leg amputated, and dies soon after from an infection. You don’t see the amputation, but it’s still bandaged and he is clearly in pain.
A fascist government is in power and persecuting minorities, so obviously this is an issue to be wary of. I marked "yes" just in case, but I can't recall if there were any actual instances of hate speech in the film. All the main characters are people fleeing persecution, not fascists themselves.
Two deaths by suicide. In the first, a writer (whom we never meet as a character) kills himself in a hotel. It happens offscreen. We see some blood, but not the body. Later, a woman kills herself by jumping from a rooftop or bridge to the street below. We see her the moment before she jumps, and then we see her body on the ground, but we don't see her fall.
Some flashing of police vehicle lights in daylight mostly in distance, brief night time shots early on with more prolonged police flashing. Generally quite photosensitive friendly
There is no on-screen antisemitism, but there is a fascist government taking over with an implied antisemitic attitude. The woman with the dogs says that the American dog owner was Jewish so he left as quickly as he could; and she adds she’s also Jewish, implying imminent peril.
