Hypersleep

"Hypersleep" (Ipersonnia, 2022) — watch this Italian sci-fi thriller online on iFILM. Director Alberto Mascia imagines a near-future penal system where convicts never see a cell: they serve their time under deep sedation, unconscious and, officially, harmless.

Prison psychologist David Damiani (Stefano Accorsi) has monitored sleeping inmates for years without incident. Then one prisoner starts behaving in ways the science cannot explain, and David loses the thing he trusted most — his ability to read a mind. The film keeps its cards close: you know something is wrong long before you understand what.

A controlled debut feature that uses its sci-fi premise to ask a quiet legal and ethical question: if punishment happens only inside the skull, is it still a sentence? Watch "Hypersleep" (2022) online on iFILM.
