The feature, which also adds doses of suspense and drama to the mix, is set in a luxurious house during a Christmas dinner, when Rodo, the family’s millionaire uncle, accidentally dies.
The Argentine drama The Sleepwalkers opens to a powerful image. A mother jolting out of sleep, searching for her daughter. She scans the loo and different parts of the house, finally finding her in the living room: an impassive face, a naked body, blood lining her lower legs.
The mother, Luisa (Erica Rivas), is worried about her teenage daughter, Ana (Ornella D’Elía), for two reasons: She’s recently started her period, and she’s a habitual sleepwalker. Luisa knows that this world is unsafe for young girls especially for her child, who is not in control of her body, even when she’s sleeping.
