The once reasonably popular singer Gary now makes a living
writing commercial jingles. He’s on the verge of a mid-life crisis
and his relationship with the eternally dissatisfied intellectual
Dora is on the dull side. His life takes a dramatic turn when
he meets the kind of girl every man dreams about. But that’s
his problem: the stunningly beautiful Anna only appears to
him when he’s asleep. He soon forms a relationship with
this perfect dream-woman, and his days are spent in mere
preparation for his fantastic nocturnal encounters. In order
to step up their intensity, exhausted but happy Gary seeks
out oddball Mel, an expert in lucid dreaming, who initiates
him into the rules of an exciting but dangerous game. An
enchanting comedy about what happens when you meet
the embodiment of perfection.
