A Dream Away- Corrected Version, December 2021
This short film is about a young man who suffers from an incurable,
neurological disease called “Narcolepsy”. The film illustrates the daily struggles and inner conflicts that take place in people with narcolepsy. It is a coming of age story and shows how he comes to terms with his disorder. Noah goes through the ups and downs of being a teenager, having a social life, a love life and an academic career whilst battling his constant state of exhaustion. When everything goes south he decides to take his bike and go on a trip which turns into an adventurous life lesson.
What is Narcolepsy?
Narcolepsy is a lifelong neurological disorder that usually develops between the ages of 10 and 20. It affects around one in two thousand people. It results in episode of excessive sleepiness, which for a someone without the disorder can be compared to not sleeping for 48-72 hours, causing sleep paralysis and hallucinations. Our goal with this project is to raise awareness for the highly misconstrued disorder that is hardly shown in media.
