Exit 8 - Expat Cinema Rotterdam

Hachiban Deguchi 2025
Genki Kawamura

When a man tries to leave a subway station, he discovers that the only way out is to find Exit 8. What begins as a simple search quickly turns into a suffocating, endless loop of identical corridors. The rules seem clear: if he notices an anomaly, he must turn back; if everything appears normal, he should keep going. But one mistake—one missed detail—and he is forced to start over.

As he obsessively scans for subtle changes, the line between reality and imagination begins to blur.

His journey proves to be not only physical, but psychological—as if there is a reason he cannot escape.

Based on a game.
