Driving late one night on a country road, Sarah (Anne Parillaud, La Femme Nikita, The Man in the Iron Mask, The Last Mistress) accidentally hits Arthur (Arthur Dupont, The Romance of Astrée and Céladon (COL•COA 2008), Bus Palladium). Arthur is 18 years-old, the same age as her son, whose tragic death only a year before still haunts her. He explains that he is being chased by a mysterious killer (Thierry Frémont, 2005 International Emmy Award for Best Actor in Murder in Mind), who tried to break into his house. Sarah sees a chance to redeem the death of her son and feels a compelling need to protect him. They arrive safely in her isolated house in the countryside, but the killer still lurks…

In Their Sleep is a debut feature by siblings and young filmmakers ÉRIC and CAROLINE DU POTET. Brother/sister Éric and Caroline du Potet both studied at the film school ESRA. Caroline pursued further studies in creative writing for film at the Conservatoire Européen d'Ecriture Audiovisuelle, while Éric gained hands-on experience on film shoots. Before In Their Sleep, they co-wrote and directed five shorts: Le Bestiaire (2001), Premières Neiges (2002), Silence, on danse ! (2003), Ce soir-là (2004) and Le Troisième Oeil (2006).
