Her unknown abductors talk to her though a loudspeaker and set strict rules: she cannot sleep and has to fulfill bizarre and violent tasks if she hopes to stay alive. Instead of sleeping, she must spend hours wearing a virtual-reality headset. Sleepless Beauty has solid pacing, though at times it comes at the expense of clarity. A young woman, Mila, is kidnapped by a mysterious organization known as Recreation. Always, a voice (Olivia Indik) calmly announces 1984-style over a loudspeaker the next test she must undergo. The tortures are inflicted upon her by a brutish man who never speaks (Evgenly Gagarin), whose attacks include trapping her in a coffin filled with rats and assassinating an innocent victim so closely that the blood splatters all over her face. As the days wear on, her hallucinations increase until she reaches the point that she is incapable of recognizing real life anymore. The heroine of this fractured fairy tale lives in a high-rise.
