A group of soldiers in a small town on the Mekong River in northern Thailand are struck with a bizarre sleeping illness where spirits appear to the stricken and hallucination becomes indistinguishable from reality.

It's hard to keep your eyes open while watching a still frame of a group of sleeping men, but manages to accomplish truly magical moments. [Full review in Spanish]
