A young woman who has been separated from her daughter works one odd job after another while battling a brain disorder whose name she does not know, but which deforms her perception of time and reality. At a group therapy session, she agrees to a mysterious deal with one of the fellow participants. Shot on a shoestring budget but in magnificent 16mm, and co-written with the magnetic lead actress, Ariella Mastroianni, Gazer gazes back on the masters of the paranoid thriller of the 70s and 80s.
When she becomes a bystander to an unforgivable act of violence, Anna finds herself ensnared by Mr. Sandman – the twisted soul of a tormented child who haunts bullies’ dreams before feasting on their eyeballs when they finally wake.
