Danielle Huyghe · Stefan Mandersloot

In their struggle with insomnia, two women desperately try to fall asleep, but behind closed eyelids, great fears reveal themselves.

When subdued Jill is admitted to a sleep clinic, she has to share a room with the rigid, seasoned Danielle. When the clock strikes 10 and the lights go out, their struggle begins. The two women force themselves to sleep. As soon as the fatigue sets in and their subconscious takes over, painful imaginations show themselves. Jill is confronted in her dreams with her fear of failure. The painful possibility of not being good enough. And the chance that her physical body will one day give up. She frantically tries to fight against losing the control she so desperately needs. Danielle's subconscious puts her in the midst of a pounding regime, facing her loneliness. Her fear of not being able to keep up with the pressure and speed of society is painfully symbolized in her dreams. The darkness of their shared night brings the women closer together.
