THE SLEEPWALKERS
THE SLEEPWALKERS
A film by Tiago Mata Machado
Trailer
Synopsis
It was a small group of world breakers. Lost in the crowd, but connected to each other, they lived in the solitude of clandestinity, in turn with their contradictions: they loved human life, but they despised life itself. They were ready for sacrifice. Nihilism, melancholy, betrayal, despair: tragic consciences in a long journey at the end of the night. A tale of love and death, in a world in which the state of exception has become a rule and the last days of humanity never end.
