The Man Who Sleeps

Un homme qui dort

“Just to wait until there is nothing left to wait for.”

A young student decides to have no more interaction with the world than is needed to minimally sustain life. His increasingly automaton-like behavior is coupled with a strange clarity of insight about the world around him.
