Movie: Moebius (1996) - The story is set beneath Buenos Aires, deep within its labyrinthine subway system, and centers on a train containing 30 riders that h. Research will be initiated towards finding the cause of this dematerialization. A young topologist (surfaces mathematician) leads the investigation based on some lost maps and technical data sheets. He cannot find the whereabouts of the old scientist who designed the intricate weft of the subway web, until the unexpected aid from a young girl will ease the obtention of the first clues. Everyting seems to be futile, but a random event that will risk his life gets him into an impossible train, were he will face up the amazing final revelation. - Yokosuna Buenos Aires. The subway system has been expanded over and over. It is that complex now that nobody is able to picture it anymore. Some day a whole train disappears. From time to time it can be heard rushing through the dark labyrinth, but it cannot be seen. The director of the subway must come up with an explanation for this phenomenon and sends for the responsible engineer. The engineer does not want to see the director and sends a friend, a mathematician, for investigation. Soon the young man comes up with the only possible thesis what may have happened to the train. Anyway the thesis is so incredible that nobody can believe it. - Oliver Heidelbach A train on the Buenos Aires subway system suddenly vanishes.

Moebius is an example of what you can do with a low-budget (less than 250,000 $) film. It´s a great movie made by the students of the Universidad del Cine. I think it´s great for some reasons: first because these students had the courage to shot a sci-fi movie in Argentina, that involves many risks, such as never be shown in any cinema, or never finishing it because of subsidy problems (in my country these ones go to the titles that are seen by the major quantity of people, and not to the ones that are better). Second, because the plot makes you stay until the end of the movie and it´s one of the most original plots I´ve ever seen. Finally, because it´s not an improvised film; all the details of it were revised very carefully, and I can´t see any technical errors (that are common in other low-budget movies). I rate Moebius with an 8 out of 10. Contents • • • • • • Synopsis [ ] On one 4 March, the controllers of the discover that train number UM-86 (a train), along with its passengers, has gone missing in the network of tunnels. After searching the entire network (which in the film is shown as being much larger than in reality) they fail to find both the train and its passengers. In an attempt to hide the incident from the public, the director of contacts the engineering firm responsible for the construction of the line where UM-86 went missing in order to investigate the incident. The firm then sends a young Daniel Pratt, rather than an experienced engineer, which displeases the director. Upon looking for the original plans of the line at a national archive, Pratt discovers that they are missing and were taken away by his former lecturer at the, Hugo Mistein. After looking for him at the University, another professor tells Pratt that Mistein retired some time ago and has not been seen or contacted for a considerable period. Pratt gets hold of Mistein's address and calls his house from a public telephone. The professor is not at home, however the phone is answered by an uncooperative young girl who tells him Mistein isn't home and then hangs up. Since Pratt is out of change, he decides to go to the apartment in person. After arriving at the apartment, Pratt is greeted by the same girl who spoke to him on the phone and after some reluctance, lets him into the apartment. Inside, he discovers the plans he had been looking for but is forced to leave through the fire escape, along with the girl, after a knock on the door. The pair enter a station and search for the director. The girl is told to wait on one of the platforms while Pratt addresses the director and numerous officials tasked with getting to the bottom of the UM-86 mystery. The group informs him that the entire line has been closed and all trains halted to make the search for the missing train easier. Upon delivering the news, the sound of a train is heard through the tunnels. The group runs around the multi-level station looking for UM-86 but it is nowhere to be found. Maintenance workers at the bottom level also heard the sound, but presumed it was coming from the top level, where Pratt and the others were located.
