Equally poetic and essayistic, Exit/Entrance is largely plotless, using its images and sounds to instead riff on a particular sensation – the personal dislocation of being both within and outside an alien culture, wanting to adapt to its established codes and rhythms while still not betraying your personal history and values. From this, a number of small truths emerge: the way that the displaced individual will search for the familiar within these surroundings, while those around them try to project familiarity onto them; the gulf between individual experience of immigration and its turning into objective, abstract information; the de-humanizing aspect of well-meaning integration programs, which scrub individuals clean of cultural background and associations; the subtle feelings of exclusion created by language barriers.
