Summer in the suburbs. Between two massive towers, aeroplanes trace thin threads of cotton. Two young sisters run away. Dream? Reality? The film unfolds like a philosophical tale, in which off camera voices punctuate the thoughts of children on the verge of growing up. Somewhere between a Western and a fantasy film, this waking dream marks the passage from childhood to adolescence.

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.

Connie, the fifteen-year-old black sheep of her family, finds her summertime idyll of beach trips, mall hangouts, and innocent flirtations shattered by an encounter with a mysterious stranger.
