Amnios Somnia

Synopsis: A metaphysical journey into the worst dream's nightmare: reality. Reality that is before and after, that is always one, a boundary in between the birth of a dream and the death of another. Blurring from the crystal of reality's barriers to the genesis of the unreal, this metaphorical exploration moves through evocative atmospheres reaching the enchanted gardens of hopes and desires. Emerging from this surreal apnea, naivety and purity are sacrificed among the wheels of experience. "Sooner or later someone will wake us up and by the way... daydreaming is considered distraction." In the cemetery of illusions we can become cynical, or we can begin to imagine how to morph real fantasy into a fantastic reality. The choice is ours. The author's choice is cathartic: it is in this film. Wisdom contains the extremes. And in the few dreams that survive, many answers. It's time to transcend new boundaries.
