Synopsis

Sleep With Your Eyes Open (2024) offers a subtle approach to the perishable. Kai arrives from Taiwan to a heartbroken Brazilian coastal town for a vacation. While searching for Fu Ang, Kai discovers the story of Xiaoxin and a group of Chinese workers in an elegant skyscraper, a story in which she finds herself strangely mirrored. In this comedy of misunderstandings, the main characters, played by both novice and professional actors, come and go unexpectedly.
