The series

Telling the real from the illusory when the city no longer sleeps.

Camille, a young mother, and Philippe, her boyfriend, find themselves in a city under a state of emergency, where sleep deprivation is eroding people’s minds. Caught between hallucinations and paranoia, they struggle to tell the real from the illusory.

Inspired by the science fiction short film Sommeil de cendres, the series has screened at many festivals in Québec and internationally.

The project was created through the Créateurs en série programme of TV5 and Unis TV. The series is available on TV5+.
