EXIT

EXIT

For failed writer Abel Schreuder, the only way to escape his life without ambition is getting lost. After a visit to his demented grandmother in the nursing home, he lets fate decide and travels via Hanover to the shadowy ruin festivals of Berlin. In this self-created maze he meets femme fatale Eve, backpack-professional Jerry and many other lost souls which help him get lost too.

Meanwhile, he is looking for an explanation for his urge to get lost, and begins to write about his father and his grandfather. Three generations of men who appear to be virtually nothing alike, but are inextricably linked. Slowly, his journey is starting to make more sense, but why does it seem that every step he takes into the distance seems to bring him closer to home?
