In Transit (2012)
Intricately Woven Little Gem
At first glance you might not realize that this short film has many layers. There is that of communion, jovial curiosity, & human value.
Look at Maria, the lady that arrives at the bus stop. She appears to be homeless & subsequently little to no education. However, Maria seeks to interact, to involve & be involved. The gentleman (Kunal), with his grocery bag, is hesitant to engage. Yet, Maria makes it clear that she doesn't want anything from him. And that's where the layers start stacking up.
On one end you have a reserved/soft-spoken individual looking to get home without interruption. And on the other you have a loud, opinionated woman prying her way into Kunal's solemnity. It isn't all fun & games, as Maria eventually breaks down & exposes her deepest concerns. Therein lies the heart of the story, as Kunal so eloquently says, "Sometimes loneliness makes people go crazy." Is this woman crazy, or is she just seeking for a temporary place of belonging.
Based on a true story, it left me thinking - what would I do if I were in that situation? And you will find yourself asking that same question.
