The Sleepy Man is the story of Judith, a woman who comes home to find a man sleeping on her porch, one of the 'sleepy people'. She brings him inside her house and the film revolves around the silent relationship between Judith and the sleepy man that evolves over the next 6 days. It's a story about loneliness in the modern age and the connections that can form between the cracks of our existence. A post-apocalyptic love story of sorts.
