Synopsis: Snoozers is a series of loosely connected events or images guided by the themes of fragility, grotesqueness and femininity. Hence, different stories in different places in different periods of time convey an awareness of fragility or impermanence of things. The film plays with the expectation of viewers by constantly taking us from something recognizable to something new.
