Film Synopsis

Gustave suffers from chronic narcolepsy.  He has a habit of falling asleep anywhere and at any time, which presents something of a handicap for his professional life.  The upside is that he can live, in his dreams, the most fantastic adventures.  As he falls asleep, Gustave becomes an invincible superhero.  His psychoanalyst, Samuel Pupkin, realises that he can profit from Gustave's fanciful dream experiences.  With the help of Guy Bennet, a failed comic, Samuel sets about publishing a series of adventures based on what Gustave tells him...
