The Society of Reluctant Dreamers
Swimming in the clear blue waters of the Rainbow Hotel, Daniel Benchimol finds a waterproof camera, belonging to Moira, a Mozambican artist, famous for a series of photos depicting her own dreams – a woman he, Daniel, dreams about repeatedly. The two meet, and Daniel becomes involved in a mysterious project with a Brazilian neuroscientist, who`s working with Moira on a machine to film and photograph people`s dreams. This is just one of many dreamlike encounters, as characters appear in each others` dreams and the dreams of people around them.The Society of Involuntary Dreamers is a story of art versus dictatorship, the place of dreams in our waking lives and how they blur with reality, set against the political backdrop of Angola`s tumultuous past and present.
