    • Synopsis
    • Dmitriy is a lonely, aging man who randomly comes across an advertisement for a clinic that helps treat insomnia and bad dreams. He’s been having a reoccurring nightmare where he is submerged and drowning in a large void of water. The doctor at the clinic provides Dmitriy with a device that replaces his bad dreams with wonderfully vivid pleasant ones. On his first night with the device, he unlocks a forgotten romance between his younger self and a gorgeous woman named Masha.

      These new pleasant dreams inspire Dmitriy to reunite with his old friend Max and take up playing his dusty guitar again. However, as he experiences the ups and eventual downs of his relationship with Masha, he begins to understand how reliving these memories and being doomed to wake up from them might become a nightmare in itself. There are rules involved with these dreams, and Dmitriy is desperate to find a way to break them so that he can manifest the fixed relationship into his reality...
