A psychological drama that explores memory, trauma and the fragile nature of identity. The film follows a young women who survives a traumatic event that leaves her with dissociative amnesia. Unable to remember key parts of her life, she struggles to reconnect with reality while navigating fragmented memories, emotional confusion and the lingering effects of trauma. As she attempts to rebuild her sense of self, those around her-friends, family, and caregivers-try to help her piece together what happened. However, the process of rediscovery becomes complicated as hidden truths and painful memories begin to surface. The film thoughtfully examines how memory shapes identity and how healing often requires confronting difficult truths. Through personal reflection and observational storytelling, the film provides a rare and humanizing perspective on inpatient mental health care. It examines the realities of crisis intervention, the stigma surrounding mental illness, and the complex, non-linear nature of recovery. As Foley forms bonds within the treatment community, the documentary highlights how empathy, openness, and collective experience can foster resilience even in the midst of profound struggle. Blending elements of drama and psychological mystery, Eyes Upon Waking presents an intimate character study about resilience, recovery, and the human mind's capacity to protect itself in the face of overwhelming experiences.
