YOU SHALL NOT SLEEP
Buenos Aires, 1984. The ambitious young actress Bianca gets a breakthrough part in one of the controversial theater plays of Alma Böhr. During her previous pieces, Böhr pushed her actors to the limits of famine and suffocation. This time she’s rather curious what sleep deprivation will do with one’s body. Her mysterious opus “Ursa Major” is a play from an unknown author with a missing ending set in a deserted asylum, where a fire took the lives of several patients and staff ten years prior. Needless to say that Bianca, because of or maybe despite her insomnia, starts seeing more than she’s bargained for. Horror legend The Russian Sleep Expermiment meets GRAVE ENCOUNTERS in the latest film from Gustavo Hernandez (THE SILENT HOUSE). Belén Rueda (JULIA’S EYES, THE ORPHANAGE) plays the dangerously charismatic Alma Böhr. This movie is the ideal remedy for people who have trouble sleeping, because staying awake could be so much worse.
