- Synopsis
- Our film follows Georges, an early thirties male continually haunted by insomnia and depression, whose life is slowly melting away. After loosing his pregnant partner, his job and conclusively many tenants of his life to his state - he whiles away his perpetual waking hours in his flat alone.
  He is offered mysterious solace in a new age centre - a spa for insomniacs. The compound offers it’s inhabitants a chance to experience dreams, created while awake by a team of
  therapists and orderlies. We watch the centre’s staff subject our hero to uncanny DIY dream theatre; exploring George’s past and his subconscious through horrific conditions and surreal masochistic exercises. All the while, they seemingly attempt to uncover and combat the roots of his trauma, in a bid to cure him.
  As we follow our hero’s journey into his own life, the centre’s means and treatment become more nefarious and sadistic. Ultimately confining Georges within a misleading maze of attempting to solve his condition, through whatever means necessary.
