A dreamy and enigmatic film about facing your own shadow and stare back at it through the viewfinder of a camera. A hybrid fiction-documentary film about a traveller from Iran whose shadow wants to make itself independent upon arrival in Germany. Facing it and gazing at the shadow with the help of his video camera, memories and flashbacks cut rhythmically into the traveller’s records of the present until a remix of his past and future occurs. All this in an in-between space, in a non-place, ‘In Transit’.
Six Iranian directors examine, one after the other, a place in Iran, France, or Germany. The places and the stories enter into a dialogue with each other and deal with living conditions in today's Iran, social and economic struggles, but also identities in exile, and places of longing.
