Though the trailer of the film gives a very vague idea of the plot, it does let on that the movie is along the lines of a psychological horror. The first impression of the short is one of a dark and forbidding thriller. The film will premiere after the Palm Springs ShortFest on a prominent streaming platform, but we’ve not been told which.

The narrative revolves around a millennial couple and their questionable actions that have far-reaching consequences. Starring talented actors Gulshan Devaiah and Shahana Goswami, the film is supposedly a thriller pertaining to the environment. It deals with the greed of human beings and the chaos it is capable of creating.

The Sleepwalkers has been produced by Honey Trehan, Abhishek Chaubey, and Lalit Prem Sharma.
