Awake

Every year, one in 700 people wake up during surgery.

A claustrophobic medical thriller that weaponizes the terror of consciousness without agency, sustained by paranoia and the protagonist's helplessness.

While undergoing heart surgery, a man experiences a phenomenon called ‘anesthetic awareness’, which leaves him awake but paralyzed throughout the operation. As various obstacles present themselves, his wife must make life-altering decisions while wrestling with her own personal drama.
