A wandering young woman explores the crevices of her apartment, of her corporeal creases, as well as the shadows made up of those things. Through her journey, she comes into contact with fellow vagrancies: a nondescript man of around similar age; a young girl with similar, even familiar, eyes; streets that can only exist during those brief moments of glazing stares. The rain comes and goes, but the A/C never turns off.

Bare Transit follows the journey of a 23-year-old yoga teacher, Mia, who has travelled back to India from the UK to seek resolution and forgiveness. The film is the debut feature from Irish poet and photographer, O.P. Durkin, and is the first release from creative collective Nodrum. The film was shot in 2019–20 commencing in north India in the mountain town of Minali and continues on a journey in an ancient bus, through the Indian continent to south Goa. The film uses a mixture of professional and amateur actors and crew and was in itself a journey of discovery for all involved. Filming finished just a few weeks before the world and the nature of human interaction changed with the global reaction to the COVID-19 virus. The musical soundtrack comes from the shamanic binaural beats of MEYA.
