Slumberland

DJ Darky, a brilliant but eccentric Los Angeles beatmaker, believes he has crafted the ultimate sonic masterpiece. However, his creation remains incomplete without the perfect vocal accompaniment – a quality he finds only in the obscure recordings of Charles Stone, an avant-garde jazz musician who vanished from the public eye decades ago. Driven by this artistic obsession, Darky embarks on an unlikely pilgrimage to post-unification Berlin, the rumored last whereabouts of Stone. As he navigates the city's labyrinthine streets and vibrant, sometimes disorienting, cultural landscape, Darky's quest for musical perfection intertwines with a deeper search for identity and belonging. He grapples with complex themes of race, history, sexuality, and the enduring power of music, encountering a kaleidoscope of characters who challenge his perceptions and push him towards self-discovery. "Slumberland" is a darkly humorous, intellectually charged journey through a city and a mind, exploring the boundaries of art, the weight of the past, and the elusive nature of genius.
