Two young mothers try to balance sleepless nights with art, meditation, and mindful living.
Their world is infused with warmth and clarity. Their light-filled home, alive with textured woods and tactile fabrics, feels restorative. But as rest slips further away, that brightness turns harsh, piercing, almost unbearable. With every sleepless night the light grows more jarring, colours sour into uneasy tones, and perception itself distorts.
Cinematographer Maurizio Tiella captures this descent with a palette that shifts from serenity to feverish intensity, pulling the audience into the couple’s unraveling state of mind.
SLEEPEATER is a stark study of love under pressure, of guilt, exhaustion, and the paranoid terror that turns the person closest to you into someone to fear when sleep is denied.
