An intimate & darkly funny feature film about narcolepsy, and just how deadly the will to live can be.

Shocking from the start,

Knock Yourself Out is an unflinching portrayal of desperation & danger due to disease.

Heartfelt and harrowing in the same breath, perversely funny in the face of pain - this is a story of how survival turns to spiral.
