A quirky short black comedy about escalating misery - and the things we sometimes tolerate. Burt, a middle aged man who hasn't been able to sleep in days, is now desperate to put an end to this annoying situation. But what keeps him up at night? And most of all, how far will he go to find the much needed sleep? Insomnia is also a short comedy about idiosyncrasies, the choices we make in life and empowerment.
