The Way Out (Russian: Выход) (German: Der Auftritt) is a German-Russian 2015 short film directed, written and produced by Mikhail Uchitelev.

Edith (portrayed by Elina Amromina) is a Jewish opera diva concealed from the Nazis by Gustav (played by Alexander Alexeyev), who shelters her in the theater's cellar during the occupation.

The Nazi commandant (played by Artur Kharitonenko) confronts Gustav, demanding that he surrender Edith or face death.

The Way Out received generally positive reviews and the Saint Petersburg Evening Post praised the work for effectively using its 33-minute length to its advantage.
