Alain can't sleep. As the night wears on, his thoughts race and his anxiety mounts. He paces his apartment, makes tea, checks the clock - anything to distract from the gnawing insomnia. But the more he tries to fight it, the worse it becomes. Alain's insomnia spirals into an existential crisis as he questions his purpose, his relationships, and his very sanity. With dawn approaching, he must find a way to quiet his mind and surrender to sleep before it consumes him entirely.
