Sebastián Silva : 2013
Teenager Alicia arrives in Chile on her first trip out of the United States. Visiting her close friend Sarah, she tries to fit into a different world, but if Alicia could just get some sleep, everything would be all right. As she makes her way through the surreal, unfamiliar countryside with Sarah and her boyfriend Agustín, his sister Barbara, and their strange American friend Brink, Alicia's insomnia slowly takes control. The difference between what is happening in reality and what is happening in her own mind becomes less and less clear to her. And after giving hypnosis a try, to help solve the problem, things only get worse. As her waking nightmare continues, will her friends be her salvation or her downfall? The story of an unstable personality pushed to the edge, Sebastián Silva's unsettling film examines sexual repression and the fear of loss, showing how the smallest choices we make can have significant and insurmountable consequences. The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2013.
