Synopsis/Details
Upset by his recent divorce and stressed by the approaching deadline, novelist Robert Bronstein cannot fall asleep. Locked in his charming Boston apartment in the company of his cat and his goldfish, the author has no trust in the drugs prescribed by his physician and for lack of better options he turns to YouTube. Bronstein's insomnia seems to be of a rare type for none of the influencers’ sophisticated methods work, no matter how hard he tries ... not even the scientifically proven method from the old Incas which consists in cutting a fly with a twenty years old machete.
