Professor of evolutionary biology Paul Matthews does not seem to be expecting any shocks in his routine life. But without knowing it, he leads a much more fulfilling life in the dreams of other people. When literally everyone on the planet starts to have dreams about him, he becomes a real star—but for how long?

Nicolas Cage has perhaps never been Nicolas Cagier in what could be his Nicolas Cagiest performance ever.
— Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
The film’s hilarious and witty concept would hardly work so effectively if it weren’t for the specific magic of Nicolas Cage’s presence in the frame. The director weaves into the hero’s story a satire on cancel culture, on the world of advertising and media, and on the attention deficit disorder triumphant on the Internet.
