Synopsis

Four college grads get stuck on road trip that never ends in this gripping existential horror. A viral online short turned stunning feature debut, in competition at SXSW 2025.

Is it something we did? Do we deserve this? Will it be like this forever? When their late-night drive becomes a living nightmare, old friends James, Tyler, Day and Fisher have questions. On the way to grab a bite and now they’re trapped on what appears to be an endless road, surrounded by mysterious, menacing, supernatural forces beyond their comprehension. As the days of driving stack up, the only certainties are that hunger no longer exists and the petrol never runs out. Much more than a potent metaphor for the fears and uncertainties of Gen Z, Alexander Ullom’s endlessly inventive screenplay and sophisticated visuals deliver a mesmerising mystery that’s both timely and timeless, and flawlessly performed.

Limited seats are available for patrons requiring access for wheelchairs, low vision and hearing loop. Please contact our ticketing team directly on 1300 733 733 or tickets@sff.org.au to complete your booking.

A brilliant, existential road thriller for and by Gen Z.
