THE SLEEP WALKERS

It’s only been a few hours since little office clerk Sándor has lost his job. Now he is on his way to the Adria Coast in his caravan, determined to give his life a turn towards the positive. On his ride through Budapest in the evening, he gets stopped by two policemen. After a series of harassments they send him to the hospital for a blood-test. When after several hours he finally is allowed to drive on, he makes an astonishing discovery… At the same time, young Anna roams through the night. She has a job as a cigarette promoter in a night-club, but she also has been fired this evening. And yet she desperately needs the money to help her boyfriend Gábor out of a rut. With a sports bag full of stolen cigarettes under her arm she now tries to raise at least a part of the sum. Then there is the electrician Bandi, whose behaviour after an electric shock becomes increasingly strange. He too roams the empty streets of the city, obsessed by the idea to repair the power cut at night in his tenement house. The paths of these three people cross repeatedly, who at first glance seem so absolutely different, but who are so similar: In their search for freedom and in their fight for a last bit of dignity in a life which only has hits under the belt in store for them.
