WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the near future, people’s dreams are recorded and taxed by the government. James Preble (Audley), a dream auditor, travels to the home of an eccentric old woman named Arabella (Fuller) to conduct an inspection of her various dreams, but as he goes through them, he begins to fall in love with the younger version of Bella (Glowicki) who appears prominently in them. Soon, he too gets caught up in the strange and increasingly surreal dream world he’s been assigned to audit…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
