Experiencing Interruptions?

Somnium

After surviving a near-fatal car accident, Sam wakes from a coma with vivid memories of a life he swears he lived, one filled with love, laughter, and heartbreak with a woman named Florence. There's only one problem: Florence has never met him.

Determined to reclaim what he believes was once real, Sam tracks her down to a cosy diner on Main Street, where she works. As he struggles to explain their supposed past, Florence is both unnerved and intrigued by his story. Though sceptical, she sees something genuine in Sam’s eyes, something that draws her in. Against her better judgment, she gives him a chance.

Over a heartfelt conversation, the two form an undeniable connection, mirroring the love Sam remembers. As Florence returns to work, she hesitates—then rushes after Sam, offering him a second meeting. With hope rekindled and hearts quietly racing, they part ways, leaving the future unwritten but filled with possibility.
