The Man Who Woke Up – Synopsis
A man wakes up in a strange world where he is surrounded by strange sounds and where he has to sing every word he thinks. The arrival of a heard-but-not-seen-bewitching cat’s owner learns him he woke up in an opera, it is not long till he faces the actual cat and meets the neglected wife of the cats owner. The man tries everything to go back to his own world, but ignoring the cats real intentions and powers.
