Fever Dream

Young adult Mees decides to move to his grandmother in a village for his recovery. His search for rest turns out not to be as peaceful as he had hoped: Small events unleash a new psychosis, in which the line between madness and reality blurs. This film takes you inside Mees' confusing reality and, in doing so, aims to create understanding of this common mental state.
