In the darkness of the polar night, a scientist tries to shed light on a remarkable phenomenon: an Arctic village in hibernation.

synopsis

The synchronous breathing of dozens of human hibernators echoes through a snowy valley. Three sleep scientists find shelter in a small cabin. The sea is about to freeze over. Time is running out. But time feels like a strange construct when night never ends.
Dans l’obscurité de la nuit polaire, une scientifique tente d’élucider un phénomène étrange : un village arctique en hibernation. La respiration synchronisée de dizaines de dormeurs résonne dans une vallée glacée. Trois scientifiques cherchent refuge dans une petite cabane. La mer gèle progressivement. Le temps presse. Mais le temps devient un concept étrange quand la nuit n’a pas de fin.
In de duisternis van de poolnacht probeert een wetenschapper licht te werpen op een opmerkelijk fenomeen: een Arctisch dorp in winterslaap. De synchrone ademhaling van tientalle, menselijke winterslapers echoot door een besneeuwde vallei. Drie slaapwetenschappers zoeken beschutting in een kleine hut. De zee vriest langzaamaan dicht. Hun tijd raakt op. Al wordt tijd een vreemd concept wanneer de nacht geen einde kent.
