PRESS RELEASE
Official selection, 2008 Tribeca and Morelia Film Festivals. Alonso Pineda Ulloa's feverish thriller stars Barbara Mori as a Mexico City architect who can’t find Mr. Right in her waking life, but for some time has been conducting a torrid romance with a dream lover by night. Convinced this man must exist somewhere in the real world, she falsely claims to have been attacked and gives the police a description of her dream lover. When they haul in respected cardiologist Leonard Sbaraglia, he is in fact the man of her dreams. Although his alibi checks out, he is soon visited by Mori in his sleep—and in a decidedly more nightmarish setting.
