Film Overview

Jude finds himself in a recurring nightmare where he is trapped in a bathroom with his girlfriend, Anna. In his dream, Anna seems aware that he will soon leave here once he wakes up, adorning her in his mind. Once awake, he is unsettled by the terrifying realness of the dream. He attempts to move on, but still the trauma lingers. At work, he’s unable to even describe the horror of the dream to a colleague. After returning home and telling Anna he’s still affected by the dream, he falls asleep and returns to the nightmare, night after night. Sleep deprivation begins to set in as Jude attempts to avoid returning to the dream altogether. Hopeless, Jude is led to believe the best course of action is to abandon reality and reenter his nightmare for some sort of resolution. He leaves his true love behind as he chooses to save the girl within his dreams.
