Cities of Sleep

This documentary follows people in Delhi who are trying to find a place to rest their heads and get some sleep for a couple of hours, if they are lucky. It places the people in the middle of an unforgiving landscape of concrete and noice, constant movement of cars, dogs and people. It is often night and the darkness surrounds the main characters as they try to convince the people who have the power over the possible sleeping places. Theese places allow people with little money to get some rest under a blanket either in a small shed or on a sort of bed outside. The people in power over theese places are a mix of help workers and dictators, making some money of the desperate tired people and at the same time offer them some relief. One of the places is under a bridge, where they have arranged a sort of cinema where people also can sleep. A film about class, poverty and what it means to be free.
