About

"Dreaming" is a poetic story about a married couple, whose life was affected by a tragic fate, heralded by a mysterious dream. A man falls into a coma, as a result of an accident, and then into a state of unresponsive wakefulness for several decades. A woman takes up the challenge of lonely care. The story raises questions about the meaning of suffering, sacrifice, faith, hope and love in the background of the inevitable perspective of the finiteness of human existence. The native scenery of homeland plays an important role in the series as the "centre of the world" of the characters. Sequential, symbolic images of
the landscape, including the beauty of nature's metamorphosis, accent the passage of time and emphasize the metaphysical perspective of the story.
