The camera pans across the deserted city at night. In the reflections of alleyways and places of transit, the borders between interior and exterior begin to dissolve. The sleepwalker’s night is punctuated by moments of ambivalence; in medical terms, he is awake but has no control over what he does. Racked by physical exhaustion, his unsettling memories of previous nights remain fragmented and bear witness to insecurity and disorientation.
