BAFTA award winner Jennifer Ehle (Zero Dark Thirty, Pride and Prejudice) stars as Ilse, an enigmatic painter on retreat in a small town in Maine. There she invites Lucy, a local bartender to pose for her, which develops into a relationship that will change everything for both women. Delicate and restrained, this exploration of desire and the artist’s muse is directed by Jaclyn Bethany and written by Alex Sarrigeorgiou, who also stars as Lucy. Direct from its World Premiere at Edinburgh International Film Festival, In Transit speaks to those brief, bewildering queer encounters that fade too quickly, yet leave behind a slow, aching glow of becoming.
