Transit - A New Feature Film by Hannah Espia

TRANSIT explores the intersecting stories of Filipinos in Tel Aviv when the threat of a law deporting the children of migrant workers looms over their precarious lives. Janet, a domestic worker on an expired visa, struggles to hide her half-Israeli daughter, Yael—a rebellious teenager caught up in a juvenile romance. Most endangered in the situation is Janet’s four-year old nephew, Joshua, whom Janet and Yael watch over because the boy’s father, Moises, must work out of town during the week as a caregiver. Joshua is the most vulnerable to the deportation law because he is under the age of five and therefore must be kept hidden otherwise he risks being seen by the immigration authorities, who regularly patrol the neighborhood. The film also explores the life of a young lady, Tina, who arrives to start a new life in Israel.

TRANSIT examines what it means to be a family and what it means to be a stranger, within one's home and in a foreign land.

"Espia makes an impressive debut with this gracefully directed, inventively edited look at the plight of Filipino immigrant workers in Israel." -Variety

Hannah Espia's debut feature film is The Philippines's entry to the 87th Academy Awards.
