The Sleeper
2010, 15 minutes
The Sleeper is a poetic short about a sleep deprived drifter who finds solace within the company of troubled strangers.
When a lone traveller struggles to sleep, he wanders the streets of London only to come into contact with a tearful young woman by a bridge. This encounter sparks off a series of meetings with some of the city's most troubled souls. Through connecting with each stranger, he is eventually able to find peace with sleep. The film focuses on life's magic moments. Those which often happen out of the blue, when we remove our armour and allow ourselves to connect with others alien to us.
