Summary:
A revelatory film about insomnia. The filmmaker, a lifelong insomniac desperate for rest, subjects herself to a sleep clinic. She talks with wonderfully lucid, hollow-eyed fellow travellers about their varying worlds of sleep deprivation. She muses on sleeplessness in history (Benjamin Franklin, Charles Dickens and Winston Churchill were all famous insomniacs) and searches through the past for keys to sleepnessness in the present.
