Synopsis
‘Land of Nairi’ is a science fiction story about a small post-industrial town in Armenia where young people fall asleep after an ill-managed chemical plant demolition damages a waste yard and floods the town with radioactive mud. While the young people suffer from torturing nightmares that slowly kill them, professor Adam Kapica has to find the cure and save them, including the woman he loves, Anna. The only problem is—the sleeping people exhibit no medical issues; all the analyses and check-ups give zero information. Their brain is active only when it is dreaming.
Due to a lack of other leads, Adam looks for clues in their dreams, connecting the patients to a dream projection machine. The real breakthrough happens when the first patient, Ivan, dies. The autopsy reveals that Ivan’s body was filled with a liquid that drowned him. The more severe the nightmares, the more liquid the body produces, proving that dreams do indeed kill them. Adam decides to use an untested feature of the dream machine and enter the patient’s dreams.
