…where do we travel when we dream – to hidden spaces, landscapes, countries, worlds? …what guides, confuses or frightens us when we dream? Do we move forward, do we get lost, do we get closer or even find… ourselves when we dream? One after the other we are dragged into different dreamscapes.

Waking Life is about a young man in a persistent lucid dream-like state. The film follows its protagonist as he initially observes and later participates in philosophical discussions that weave together issues like reality, free will, our relationships with others, and the meaning of life.

Exiled artist and poet Mustafa embarks on a journey home with his housekeeper and her daughter; together the trio must evade the authorities who fear that the truth in Mustafa's words will incite rebellion.
