    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Adrian Țofei's ambitious goal for We Put the World to Sleep was to combine the metaphysics of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) with the realism of The Blair Witch Project (1999), two of the movies that impressed and influenced him the most as a filmmaker. What followed was a wild odyssey not only on screen but in real life as well over the nine years of production, with numerous unforeseen obstacles - from the pandemic to financial and creative ones - during which Adrian Tofei and Duru Yücel partially lived in characters. The themes that were purely sci-fi when they began production in 2015 - such as AI and the confusion between what's real and what's not - by the time the movie was completed they became real worldwide fears.
