Synopsis In this absurdist dark comedy, Eleanor has a nightmare that she is being attacked by a lion. When she recognizes that she is dreaming and that the lion is simply a man in a costume, her attacker turns into her lover. In order to continue to meet up with Leon, the man of her dreams, Eleanor pursues the study of lucid dreaming. While she seeks to create and control her dream world and her dream man, this unhappily married woman finds that she cannot conquer her insecurities and guilt over her imaginary infidelity.
