You will go to sleep: you will wake up. It will be as if those hours never existed. Death-haunted, quietly reckless Lucy is a young university student who takes a job as a Sleeping Beauty. In the Sleeping Beauty Chamber old men seek an erotic experience that requires Lucy's absolute submission. This unsettling task starts to bleed into Lucy's daily life and she develops an increasing need to know what happens to her when she is asleep. A disturbing sexual nightmare, with shades of Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT, Julia Leigh's adaptation of her own novel is a technically elegant directorial debut and was part of the Official Selection at Cannes.
