Come enjoy SUNDAES with many TOPPINGS while watching the fantastic creations of Michel Gondry.
Close your eyes. Open your heart. The science of sleep, a playful fantasy set inside the topsy-turvy brain of Stéphane Miroux (Gael Garcia Bernal) an eccentric young man whose dreams constantly invade his waking life.
While slumbering, he is the charismatic host of Stéphane TV, expounding on the science of sleep in front of cardboard cameras. In "real life," he has a boring job at a Parisian calendar publisher and pines for Stephanie (Charlotte Gainsbourg), the girl in the apartment across the hall. While Stephanie is initially charmed by Stéphane, she is confused by his childishness and shaky connection to reality. Stéphane's co-worker, Guy (Alain Chabat) a vulgar but practical man, offers advice on the opposite sex, but Stéphane is too far in the clouds to listen. Unable to find the secret to Stephanies heart while awake, Stéphane searches for the answer in his dreams.
Written and directed by Michel Gondry, the boundlessly inventive creator of award-winning films (Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind), music videos and commercials. The science of sleep is a whimsical trip into a cut-and-paste wonderland fashioned from cardboard tubes, cellophane and imagination.
