Drowsy

A famed singer and a reckless young admirer retreat into seclusion after scandal, finding refuge in a hillside villa where private affection and public rumor intersect. The singer's father, an absorbed scientist, pursues experiments into unseen waves and novel means of communication, and the narrative interlaces their personal relationship with speculative technological breakthroughs. Episodes range from intimate domestic life and social consequences to demonstrations of astonishing inventions, messages transmitted across great distances, and voyages into strange, distant realms. Recurring concerns include the costs of notoriety, the interplay of art and science, and the emotional effects of technologies that bridge vast spaces.
