The Science of Sleep

Stéphane (Gael García Bernal), returns to his childhood home and a deadbeat job making up calendars. He soon strikes up an unusual friendship with Stéphanie, his shy next-door neighbour (Charlotte Gainsbourg), but being bored and frustrated at work means his restless imagination drags him back and forth between vivid waking dreams and mundane reality. A charming and wholly original romantic fantasy from the creator of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
