That is what it is about

In an apartment building: Two brothers are caught by a policeman, but when the cop wants to convict the dealers, there is a rumbling in the air... Somewhere on a country road: A family goes on holiday with their sick daughter, again this rumbling... From then on there is no way out - neither forward, nor back. Caught in an endless Möbius strip, there is only one thing left to do: go on and on until maybe one day something will change. But one existential question remains: Why?

What you should know

A tricky and unexpectedly dense play with the human psyche, filmed in wonderful images, best described as "LOST meets AND EVERY DAY THE MURMELTIER GREETS" still remains intangible. THE INCIDENT captures its audience with its idiosyncratic mix of sci-fi, horror film and mindfuck movie from the first minute and doesn't let go until its enigmatic ending. This Mexican bastard is exciting, different and an outstanding piece of genre cinema!
