A fast-paced psychological thrill ride combining relentless and cutting-edge filmmaking make "Insomnia Manica" a gripping neo-noir tale of a young group of vigilante thieves who choose to steal the wrong prize. Set in the dark, gritty downtown of Los Angeles, "Insomnia Manica" takes the audience through the journey of Iliad Labor (Daston Kalili), who drives the intensity through the screen with a powerful performance about riding the jagged edge of good and evil. Dahlia LaNoir (Natalie Fiori) shines as the femme fatale who, as Iliad's partner, must pay the ultimate price for her love. Moment by moment, both minds and lives are lost. With its surreal soundtrack and unforgettable ending, the lines of pain, fear, and insanity all blur into "Insomnia Manica."
