Sweet Dreams
Synopsis (fr)
Au call-center de Sweet Dreams, les employé·es assurent avec sérieux le service après-vente des rêves. Sauf Judith. Peu motivée et au bord du licenciement, elle décroche un appel qui dégénère en réclamation absurde : Scarlett Johansson qui se transforme en dauphin, des pubs avant les rêves, des forfaits payants… Une comédie grinçante et futuriste sur un monde où même le sommeil a son service client.
Synopsis (en)
At Sweet Dreams’ call center, employees handle post-dream customer support with care. Except Judith. Unmotivated and close to being fired, she picks up a call that spirals into surreal complaints: Scarlett Johansson turning into a dolphin, pre-dream ads, premium sleep plans… A dark futuristic comedy set in a world where even dreams come with customer service.
