This documentary looks for the beauty and cruelty of our dormant state. Various people talk about their sleeping problems, ranging from a wakeful existence to apocalyptic nightmares. The dream gets the best of reality, as the film gradually changes into a feverish, titillating mosaic of radical sleeping experiences.
