The four stories that make up this film take us from Belgium to the banks of the Senegal River, from the French Ardennes to the mountains of Western Sahara. What they have in common is that they lead us to encounter those who are asleep. Men and women moving between two worlds—that of the absent and that of the living—between two states—that of wakefulness and that of sleep. In each of these stories lies a mystery free from all belief, all philosophy, all attempt at explanation. A will capable of re-enchanting reality.
