Synopsis/Details
John is a psychiatrist, a somnologist who struggles to save others in hopes of healing his inner wounds. However, his world, a perfectly constructed cycle of consciousness begins to crack at the seams when a desperate effort to hide his pain pushes him into the depths of nightmares and despair. Meanwhile, Jack, an impulsive ex-military man who found relaxation in the art of mime, and now a man tired of life and his problems, with his super-valuable idea of saving the world.
Their conversations, saturated with a search for understanding and truth, give the impression of balance. However, John's world is crumbling, the fog of despair grows thicker, and his inner world sinks into depression, submitting to the power of his subconscious, his hatred of himself and what is happening. Jack, on the other hand, at this time becomes more and more confident and determined in his actions, undergoes his own journey of transformation and begins to realize that he has control over his life and can change the world around him.
This duality of psyche eventually leads to a multitude of events, as well as the awakening of the truth hidden in the depths of consciousness. The major revelation that John was unable to save his wife from the unfortunate incident and come to terms with her loss, unable to accept this fact, causes a wave of grief and guilt. This revelation throws him into depths of despair so deep that he cannot overcome them.
At the climax, the patient appears - always present but forgotten by his own mind. He realizes that all this time he has been a mere spectator of his life, and is at a loss as to whether it was just a dream or the present reality. In this awakening, it would seem, lies the hope of redemption.
