CGiii Comment
Sleepless Knights will, indeed, send you to sleep...within minutes.
Minimal dialogue and minimal talent. Every scene is too long and completely uninteresting - despite some good photography.
Usually, a film with over extended scenes could be a potentially good short - not this one.
There really is no story to speak of...a comment on the drudgery of gay life? Perhaps...but, who the hell wants to witness the mundane and monotonous?
The infantile stab at comedy - i.e. the knights - is infantile.
Good-looking garbage.

The(ir) Blurb...
As every year Carlos (Raul Godoy) is spending the summer in the country with his family in order to help out with things. Perhaps he won't even be returning to Madrid, as economic prospects are hardly rosy there. In addition, his father's health is failing and he needs Carlos to help. In this town, where the elders still celebrate the medieval rites, Carlos meets a young policeman Juan (Jaime Pedruelo) and they fall in love. A friendship ensues amidst age-old rituals and a crisis of a nation, all this set against a spectacular backdrop which seems somehow not of this world.
