The Incident

The Incident

If the road never stops, you better keep going.

Directed by Isaac Ezban

Produced by Yellow Films

2014102 min6.9 / 10

A haunting, conceptually ambitious sci-fi thriller that traps characters in impossible geometries to explore despair, futility, and the erosion of meaning over time.

Two parallel stories about people trapped in illogical endless spaces: two brothers and a detective locked on an infinite staircase, and a family locked on an infinite road... for over 35 years.
