Plot synopsis
Life in god-forsaken Kalachi village, Kazakhstan, changed dramatically after it was hit by an epidemic of mysterious sleeping sickness. Villagers were all of a sudden falling asleep on the streets and were sleeping for several days in a row. Now, after the sickness has quieted down, the village remains dreamlike. The last villagers cannot tell anymore whether they are asleep or not.
