This is a film for these frenetic times; a meditative respite from the rush and chaos of the modern world. A study of the universal experience of sleep, that unites us all.

American Loneliness tells the story of filmmaker Mathieu Le Lay's solitary journey into one of the most attractive areas on the planet : the American West. His journey consisted of a six week adventure backpacking through Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Washington. From snowstorms in Yellowstone to the Wild Pacific coast, this is the story of his quest for freedom and the great outdoors.
