From the organizer:

You are invited to the screening of “The Science of Sleep”.

THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP (2006)
105′ / Dir – Michel Gondry

“A film that rates -very- high on the weirdness scale as it tells the story of a man that has trouble keeping reality and dreamworld apart.”

“Shy Stephane has returned to his childhood hometown to accept a new job.

When the prospective employment offer fails to live up to expectations, Stephane is at least comforted by the close bond he has formed with his creative-thinking neighbour Stephanie.

Their blossoming romance finally awakens the sleeping confidence that Stephane was previously capable of displaying only in his dreams.”

“Although The Science Of Sleep delves into tortured love affairs and the fight for creative spirits to survive in a corporate world, it’s loaded with humour and imagination.

At least half of the movie warps into the alternate reality that Stephane dreams about, where stunning visuals feature entire cardboard cities, and boats drifting over seas of cellophane.”
