Sleep is about a woman finds herself transforming after a nightmarish encounter and finds she can no longer fall asleep. Instead of fatigue and disorientation she finds herself sharper and more involved than ever before, picking up pieces of her life long forgotten.
On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning is based on a man walks past the 100% perfect girl on a narrow street on a beautiful April morning. How will he approach her?
