Two parallel stories about characters trapped in illogical endless spaces: two brothers and a detective locked on an infinite staircase, and a family locked on an infinite road – for a very long time.
A pair of brothers are confronted by a policeman in their apartment. A violent struggle ensues. The fight continues into a stairwell. When they attempt to exit, they find that the staircase has turned into an infinitely repeating corridor from which they cannot escape. During the same time frame, a family leaves home for a vacation. They travel down a familiar road towards their destination. As time passes, the stretch of road and the surrounding desert begin to repeat. Like their counterparts in the stairwell, they are also stuck in a loop.
“A unique and visionary film debut with a disturbing premise.” – Cinema Movil
“A fantastic, intriguing and unsettling film.” – Excelsior
“‘The Incident’ isn’t a graphic or violent movie, but a gripping psychological torture session. The simple ’what if?’ scenarios play out in ways that seem ludicrous at first, but jibe with the film’s peculiar internal logic. The production design and world building are extraordinary. This is Mexican director Isaac Ezban’s first feature film, and I can’t wait to see what he’s got in store next.” – Guardian
