Schlafes Bruder
Brother of Sleep
Based on Robert Schneider′s bestseller of the same name (now translated into 24 languages), Brother of Sleep recounts the story of the musician Johannes Elias Alder, who brought an end to his life at the age of 22 after he decided not to sleep anymore.
A mountain village cut off from the rest of the world is the setting for the fate of this man whose musical genius overwhelms him like a catastrophe because it prevents him from following his heart and being happy with the woman he loved more than his own life.
