The Sleepy Man is the story of Judith, a woman who comes home to find a man sleeping on her porch, one of the 'sleepy people'. She brings him inside her house and the film revolves around the silent relationship between Judith and the sleepy man that evolves over the next 6 days. It's a story about loneliness in the modern age and the connections that can form between the cracks of our existence. A post-apocalyptic love story of sorts. Based on the short story Sleepy People, by Jonathan Lethem.

In 1976, the filmmaker's father, Jonas Mekas, made a film called Paradise Not Yet Lost. Many scenes in the film were street scenes of Soho, New York City from 1967-75. Twenty years later, the filmmaker creates a record of Soho from the 60s, 70s & 90s, revisiting the neighborhood with her video camera and juxtaposing images from Mr. Mekas' 1976 film.
