Description
Summary:Our film is about a boy with narcolepsy, a sleeping disorder that causes him to fall asleep in inconvenient situations. Fortunately, he has a loyal companion, his faithful dog, to rescue him when he gets into trouble. However, the increasingly harrowing rescue missions take their toll on the dog and the dog soon realizes that a more permanent solution is necessary. Our aim is to achieve a balance between Chaplin-esque comedy and poetic storytelling. It is also our wish to create a charming world with a touch of the whimsicality that is conveyed in our final scene when the boy carries an imaginative looking contraption around with him as a solution to his problem.
