Giampiero Rappa writes and directs a funny and surreal comedy that challenges the nightmare of real life. L'uomo dei sogni draws the audience into the dream world of the protagonist, inviting them to share his anguish, laugh at his bizarre encounters and reflect on the fine line between dream and reality.

Giovanni, known in the world of comics as Joe Black, is a talented and experienced illustrator. However, his life has been turned upside down by an event that has plunged him into such a deep abyss that he has withdrawn from the world, seeking refuge in the solitude of his home-studio, far from people and work commitments.
The comedy comes to life in the darkness of the night, transforming Giovanni's home into a theatre of disturbing dreams and surreal visions: the heroes he discarded from his comics, his friends and family from everyday life torment him incessantly, creating a vortex of illusion and reality.
The return of his daughter from New Zealand marks a turning point: Viola, an up-and-coming film editor on the international scene, tries to support her father but brings with her news that shocks him even more. How will the relationship between father and daughter evolve in this moment of torment and discovery? Will Joe Black manage to emerge from the abyss of depression and make peace with his inner demons? But above all, will the audience be able to distinguish between reality and the fruit of Joe's visions, scene after scene?
