Slumberland

In a windswept lighthouse where the sea’s roar mingles with bedtime stories, Nemo lives between the steady rhythm of lighthouse chores and the boundless imagination her father, Peter, has woven into her nights. When a storm pulls her father away, the young girl is left clutching a mysterious map that points to Slumberland—a luminous realm that exists somewhere between waking and dreaming. The film invites viewers into a world where clouds can become castles, lanterns glow with forgotten wishes, and the very act of dreaming feels like stepping onto a stage of endless possibility.

Crossing the veil, Nemo encounters Flip, a charismatic and mischievous trickster whose eyes sparkle with both danger and delight. He offers to guide her through Slumberland’s ever‑shifting landscapes—where soaring seas of nightmares loom alongside gardens of glittering pearls. Their partnership balances Nemo’s earnest yearning to find her missing father with Flip’s roguish flair, creating a dynamic that is as tender as it is exhilarating. The tone dances between whimsical wonder and the quietly unsettling edge of a child’s subconscious, hinting at both marvels and shadows that lie within the dreamscape.

Back in the waking world, Nemo must also navigate the unfamiliar terrain of ordinary life. Guardianship falls to her weary uncle Philip, whose subdued existence contrasts sharply with the vibrant adventures she experiences after dark. As she straddles two realities—one grounded in the lighthouse’s cold stone, the other soaring through surreal dream‑scapes—the film paints a portrait of resilience, imagination, and the fierce hope that love can bridge even the most elusive of distances.
