While You Were Sleeping
- Title: While You Were Sleeping
- IMDB: link
Lucy Eleanor Moderatz (Sandra Bullock) lives alone with her cat, carries an empty passport around in her coat pocket, and works long hours as in a subway booth taking tokens from strangers. One bright spot in her dreary existence is when Peter Callaghan (Peter Gallagher) walks by every morning even though they’ve never met.
On Christmas morning he’s mugged and falls onto the tracks. Lucy jumps on the tracks and saves his life and through a miscommunication at the hospital is believed to be Peter’s fiancé. When Peter’s large family arrives to find him in a coma they thank Lucy for saving his life and immediately embrace her into the family. The whole thing happens so fast Lucy doesn’t get a chance to tell them the truth and, after a few days with the family, doesn’t want to.
Aside from funny misunderstandings and odd coincidences the film is basically about relationships. Lucy’s only confidant is her boss (Jerry Bernard) who Lucy tells the story to and is both amused and annoyed at her situation.
