After years of forced labor in the Gulag, Jerzy returns home to his waiting wife and young daughter. Though life appears to return to normal, traumatic memories continue to haunt him, blurring the line between dreams and reality. Told entirely without dialogue, *Circles of Sleep* uses gestures, expressions, and glances to portray the inner world of a Gulag survivor. The film won the Golden Tadpole at the 2000 Camerimage Festival in Toruń.
