The Sleeper tells the story of a man who works in a small room alone, then on receiving a telephone call, leaves to begin a odysee through the town (Tübingen, southern Germany), into the countryside, across fields, down roads and through forests. He passes a lake, always travelling upwards until eventually he arrives at a tower set at the edge of a forest, climbs the steps, and flips a large switch, which swithes the video off.

The sleeper is based on a dream by Rick, and raises questions as to what is he switched off? What was said in the telephone? What does it mean? Does this make any sense at all?

The Sleeper was produced and performed by D.I.Y. Dubclub, with Carsten Bauer playing the leading role, Rick Newton as director and researcher, and with kind help from Sina A. as cameraman. The film was set on location in and around Tübingen, southern Germany. The music was created and performed entirely by D.I.Y. Dubclub, as was the video cut. Allfigure and suggested scenes are fictional, and are not relevant to any person or people of factual origin.
