## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

An overheated hospital room, deep summer. A single IV feed drips, glinting.

Night after night Mukoda Tetsurou slips into dreams that stretch like elastic. Doctors clock monitor hearts racing from the same spot.

Higuchinsky’s TV movie turns REM into a corridor where time refuses to end.

**Mood tags**: dread, surreal
