About This Movie

Chiens endormis, while carrying an air of whimsy, navigates through the complexities of modern relationships. Joana's journey to buy a mattress becomes a metaphor for the weight of commitment. The film's pacing is leisurely, allowing us to linger on her thoughts and doubts. There's something about the way the apartment is depicted, filled with boxes yet lacking a bed, that perfectly encapsulates that transitional phase in life. The chemistry between Joana and her boyfriend, coupled with the presence of Boris, the dog, adds a layer of warmth to the narrative. It’s not just about moving in together; it's about the emotional baggage we carry, and the practical effects are subtle yet effective, grounding the story in a relatable reality.
