Idling

2026 · 105 min

A wintry, quietly surreal drift through an inescapable place, more mood than momentum, asking patience and rewarding it with unease.

Overview
When Frank’s car breaks down in a bleak winter landscape, a mechanic named Barry comes to his aid. Hoping to repair the car, the two men take it into a labyrinthine underground parking garage governed by strange rules, where other unfortunate souls seem trapped.
