In a world where silence weighs more than words and time slips like jazz through broken clocks, three souls drift toward an inevitable collision. Lili, a young woman with a gun and a gaze full of unfinished poetry, fires the first shot not to kill, but to begin. Haunted by memory and silence, she wanders through city streets and smoky rooms, pursued by the ghosts of choices not made. Nina, her closest companion and sharpest mirror, lives between rebellion and resignation-a former revolutionary turned nocturnal philosopher who speaks in riddles and smokes in metaphors. And then there is Carlo, a quiet observer who records sounds no one hears and emotions that can't be seen-part detective, part dreamer, never quite belonging to this world. Through fragmented conversations, unsent letters, and moments suspended like cigarette smoke in sunlight, Exist, Exit explores love as a political act, memory as resistance, and identity as improvisation. Jump cuts fracture time. The fourth wall collapses. Reality rewinds. This is not a story about what happened. It is a film about what could have happened. Or maybe it's just a girl and a gun. Exist, Exit is a lyrical homage to the French New Wave-a cinematic jazz piece that begins with a bang and ends in a whisper.
