Synopsis:

 

A film by Kyrgyz director Talgar Zamir-Seit. "Sleep of Reason" is a mysterious mystical drama in the noir genre, telling the story of a girl who finds mysterious tapes from other people's dreams. Immersing herself in their world, she becomes a witness to people's innermost fears and secrets, not even suspecting that each experience leaves a trace in her own reality. With each new tape, it becomes clearer that her own life is nothing more than a reflection of someone else's dream. When the cornerstones of her existence begin to crumble, the girl is forced to find out who is really on the verge of awakening - she or those whose dreams she is exploring? The film invites the viewer to peer into the labyrinths of the subconscious, questioning the boundaries between sleep and reality.
