A group of journalists working for German TV comes to Kazakhstan to shoot a documentary film about “the sleeping sickness”. At the same time, a group of Chinese scientists is working there, trying to find a scientific explanation for the phenomenon. Is it a mystique, or is there a rational explanation for what is happening? This mystery detective story is complemented by an unexpected romantic subject line between a Chinese researcher and a German journalist. Only the son of a local shaman knows “who will fall asleep, while someone grand wakes up”.
