Call for Dreams

If dreams are thinly veiled projections of one’s consciousness, expressions of the dreamer’s hopes, fears, desires, and disillusions – does that mean making them physical and real will materialise the things they are a response to? Eko is an inconspicuous woman living in an apartment building hopelessly lost in the guts of a giant metropolis. While observing, through the nonchalant rain, the nocturnal spectacle of light that makes Tokyo seem feverishly unreal, Eko decides to place a curious ad in a local newspaper. In it, she encourages readers to call her and describe their dreams in detail. Then, she pays them a visit and transforms their lyrical or perverted fantasies into tangible form. She exists in limbo – a state of confusion somewhere between the reality and the illusion of the imaginations of others, and soon the woman loses herself in her new passion. Will she be strong enough to escape this sophisticated trap of the senses? (Camerimage)
