Peter, a young adult, lives in a world where lucid-dreaming pills exist and send a person into an aware dream state when they go to bed at night. Peter is an avid user of these pills, and his friends and family notice how often he is sleeping because of them. One day, Peter tries a new kind of dreaming pill called Truth Seeker and finds it's not what he first thought it would be. In this dream, Peter is confronted with the truth and forced to face a tragedy he has been trying to ignore.

Truth Seeker

Amis du Lac depicts an interstellar terrarium containing some of the last vestiges of earth’s living creatures: surveilled by a large, blue alien, the complexity of human life and longing is brought into clarity via the daily lives and waking dreams of the terrarium’s inhabitants. The film stands as a treatise on the innate ability of the imagination to envision perpetually better worlds than the one we’re currently inhabiting, as well as the evocative power of music and art. The earthlings of Amis du Lac are no longer physically connected to their planet, but the planet itself lives on in an ever-expanding world of self-contained dreams and ideas.
