The strange experience of an insomniac who, unable to sleep, looks out of his apartment window and sees, not the grey city skyline he expects, but a brightly lit country garden - his children's imaginary world. He decides to explore the fantasy and, at a party, meets a young girl with whom he escapes to a deserted, sun-drenched countryside. They swim in a lake, make love and finally fall asleep. When he awakes, he finds himself back in the urban setting.
