Plot

Unfolding in the tumultuous twilight of 1989 Czechoslovakia, The Sleepers, presented by HBO Europe, is a riveting espionage drama that draws you into the epicenter of a historical turning point - the Velvet Revolution. This seismic shift signals the end of an era, crumbling the once formidable Soviet Empire and its four-decade stranglehold over the nation. Caught in this whirlwind of change is Marie, an ordinary woman ensnared in the complex web of State Security and a growing body of dissidents. She and her husband Viktor, recently returned home after an extended exile, find themselves plunged into chaos when a car accident leaves Marie in a coma and Viktor mysteriously missing. As Marie awakens, she is not only forced to grapple with her personal loss but also plunged into a shadowy world brimming with secrets. Struggling to piece together her fractured memories, she embarks on a perilous journey that will gradually reveal the dark, unexpected mysteries held by both the state and the rebels. The Sleepers is a gripping tale of political intrigue and personal discovery, expertly weaving together the threads of historical fact and thrilling fiction. It is a story of courage, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of truth in a world where nothing is as it appears.
