Nighttime. An anthrophologist rehearses a speech for an audience. A woman in a bathroom is fighting her face’s traces of insomnia. A neuroscientist in a sleep laboratory is listenting to her patient’s cases on a dictaphone. All of them can be observed in a spatial cross-section. Three characters unified by the inevitable reference system of human being – the metre of sleeping and of being awake. Three opposing actions, each connected in a common purpose: being in search of a strategy to finally extract something beneficial of the significant amount of time one has to sleep in life.
