Drowsiness

(Senność)

There are people who constantly dwell in a state of emotional lethargy. They live in catastrophic relationships and, instead of making a change in their lives, they passively fade away into spiritual emptiness. Despite the fact that they cannot take it any longer, none of the characters in this film have the courage to change their lives. Róża, an actress, cannot work because she suffers from narcolepsy and although she suspects her husband is cheating on her, she avoids confronting him. Adam, a young doctor, is torn between loyalty to his parents and choosing his own way of life. Robert, a famous writer, faces a difficult trial. These protagonists coincidentally cross paths and fate gives them a chance to escape from their emotional narcosis.
