Charcoal drawings depict the bleak world of the worker. Pastel drawings illustrate his dreams. Oftentimes, they are dreams created by the media. Are they tailored to his real needs? Or his pocketbook? This film comments indirectly on the impact of publicity and its power to develop appetites that cannot be satisfied.

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.
