In the winter of 1946, in Leningrad, a group of German prisoners of war are sent to a female transit camp by the cruel Russian Commander Pavlov (John Malkovich). When they arrive, the Russian female soldiers show the hostility to the enemies that have killed their husbands, families and friends; only Dr. Natalia (Vera Farmiga) and the cook Zina (Natalie Press) treat the prisoners with dignity. Natalia has an agreement with Commander Pavlov to keep her former lover Andrei (Yevgeni Mironov), who was wounded on the head during the war and is slow, in the camp instead of sending him to an institution in Siberia. Pavlov assigns Natalia to disclose members of the SS infiltrated in the group of prisoners. Natalia and the prisoner Max (Thomas Kretschmann) feel a great attraction for each other while the prisoner Klaus (Daniel Brühl) tries to convince Max to denounce a couple of prisoners to satisfy the Russian. Natalia convinces the businessman Yakov (John Lynch) to organize an orchestra with the prisoners; they are invited to play in a ball, where the lonely women that survived the war dance with the Germans. After the ball, Natalia convinces Officer Elena (Thekla Reuten) to let the prisoners spend the night with the women. Natalia has one night stand with Max and while he sneaks back to the quarters, he is attacked by Klaus and saved by Natalia that discovers who Klaus actually is.
"In Tranzit"is the type of movie that has a great potential and could be better and better. Based on a true story, and supported by a great international cast leaded by the awesome Vera Farmiga, John Malkovich, Daniel Brühl, John Lynch and others and magnificent cinematography, costumes and set decoration, unfortunately the screenplay is weak and pointless. The writer seems to be lost in the dramatic conflict of the lonely women in the chaotic post-war with few men in the city but their former enemies; the existence of a criminal of war in the group of prisoners; and the romance of Natalia and Max. I am a fan of the great actress Vera Farmiga, and her interpretation is dramatically intense; her sex scene is beautifully full of passion and heat. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Vítimas da Guerra" ("Victims of the War")
