[Image: A scene from Moebius, spotted via meanwhile...].meanwhile... points us to a film called Moebius, "in which a train on the subway system of Buenos Aires suddenly disappears and a mathematician is called in to examine the mystery."
The mathematician soon discovers, as another site explains, "that the subway system, with its countless add-ons over the years, has become so incredibly labyrinthine [that] a gigantic moebius strip was unwittingly created which the missing train is now trapped on."
The film's director, Gustavo Mosquera, goes through the political implications of the subway's "disappeared" riders in this conversation, published in 1998.
Anyone out there seen it? The film, that is (not the missing subway train)?
