HYPERSLEEP Trailer - Filmfest DC 2023

Hypersleep
Director: Alberto Mascia
Italy, 2022, 103 minutes

In a frighteningly plausible near future, government prison reform has led to inmates being kept in suspended animation, awakened quarterly to be “realigned with reality” and confronted about their crimes by psychologists. And so we meet Dr. David Damiani (Stefano Accorsi) at his job interrogating a man sentenced for murder. Damiani is trying to avoid unpleasant memories, those of his wife’s suicide. Although he has met a striking new woman, Viola (Katsiaryna Shulha), his life soon becomes upended again when he is informed that his contract at the prison will not be renewed. As he works with one last patient, everything goes wrong. The inmate knows more about Damiani’s life than he should. Director Alberto Mascia sends us on a journey where we must decide what is real. Is Damiani a hero or villain? Who is controlling the narrative? And, ultimately, are we all sleeping?
