L'homme qui dort

The Man Who Slept

L'homme qui dort

A young woman shares her life with a man who sleeps through day and night without being able to wake up. She lives in denial in a house that seems to be sadly empty – filled only by the man‘s noisy breathing – until one day a musician enters her solitude. This vibrantly textured animated film is a work about resilience, a journey to night’s end that culminates in an awakening.
