00:00This man has only 10 hours to complete an impossible mission and he can return to his children,
00:05but it hides a secret that could ruin everything.
00:08Kov is an expert spy who infiltrates the dreams of others to extract secret information.
00:11and he is on the run because he is accused of a murder that no one is sure he committed.
00:15One day a Japanese businessman named Saito looks for Kov and his partner Arthur
00:19because he wants to offer them a job known as Inception,
00:21to plant an idea in someone's mind through dreams.
00:25Saito wants to eliminate his competition.
00:27The owner is dying, so he wants the heir son Robert to be planted.
00:30the idea that his father wants him to sell the company.
00:32According to Sigmund Freud, dreams are the direct path to the unconscious.
00:36The unconscious is full of memories with a high emotional value
00:38and guide people's actions even if they don't know it.
00:42So if you manage to plant an idea in a person's unconscious,
00:44it is likely that this will be carried out.
00:46Arthur believes Inception is impossible, but Kov inside him knows it isn't.
00:50Because he already did it once with someone very close to him, but it went tragically wrong.
00:54Kov accepts, since if he succeeds, Saito will use his influence to have the legal charges dropped.
00:59and can return to her children.
01:01So Kov and his partner Arthur get to work and go out to recruit their team.
01:04Kov's father-in-law introduces Ariadne to them to be the architect of the dream world.
01:08One day Kov trains with her in a dream and explains some rules to her.
01:11In dreams, time passes differently.
01:13Five minutes in reality is an hour in a dream.
01:15However, several levels of dreams can be constructed, that is, dreams within dreams.
01:19And the lower you go, the slower time goes, and you run the risk of getting lost, since it's very easy to confuse reality with a dream.
01:25In fact, for these reasons there are totems that help differentiate between a dream and reality.
01:29For Kov it is a spinning top that if it spins without stopping it means he is in a dream.
01:33And finally, to wake up from the dream they have to either die in the dream or be kicked, which is a fall.
01:39Kov went on to explain to Ariadne that as an architect she designs the world where the dream takes place.
01:43And the content is provided by the unconscious of each participant, primarily that of the assaulted, who in this training is him.
01:50Something to keep in mind is that traumatic experiences and memories reside in the unconscious, and are repressed to prevent them from coming to light.
01:55Therefore, we can think of the extra people who appear in the dream as guardians of the unconscious.
02:00Those who, if the assaulted person becomes aware that he is dreaming, will become violent to prevent the hidden thing from being discovered.
02:07And this is exactly what happens in training.
02:09They both realize they are dreaming and the extras, as defenders of the unconscious, attack them until a woman appears and kills Ariadne.
02:16Ariadne wakes up terrified and leaves, but returns because deep down she is fascinated by dreams.
02:20And Arthur tells him a little about this woman, who is a projection of Maul, Kov's wife.
02:25It turns out she died, and her death was so traumatic for Kov that when he dreams, she appears to cause him trouble, just like what happened in training.
02:32Upon learning this, Aria infiltrates Kov's dream and discovers he holds a terrible memory with his wife that he can't let go of.
02:39Aria worries that this could cause problems for them on the mission.
02:42Maul represents nothing more than a trauma that causes lasting damage to Kov's mind and continues to manifest in his unconscious.
02:48As Kov is unable to leave his traumatic past behind, his subconscious relives the painful experience in dreams as if it were a real situation.
02:54Without further ado, Kov finishes recruiting his team. He brings together Aims, a skilled forger who can transform into anyone,
03:00and Yusuf, a skilled chemist who can create a sedative powerful enough to enter a deep sleep and be able to reach up to three levels of sleep.
03:07Now ready, they put together the following plan to carry out the mission.
03:10Robert's father and Saito's biggest competitor is about to die and Robert will inherit the company.
03:15His relationship with his father isn't that great, but Robert gets along very well with his godfather Peter Browning, who is also his father's right-hand man.
03:21And this will be crucial.
03:22The plan is that when Robert's father dies, he will take a 10-hour flight to Los Angeles to transport the body.
03:27There they will give it up, they will enter a dream and once inside they will provoke another dream and then another until they go down three levels,
03:33the deepest part of his unconscious, to plant there the idea of choosing his own destiny.
03:38The day arrives, they board the plane, Kov slips a sedative into Robert's drink, and the mission begins.
03:43In the first level of the dream, Robert is kidnapped, but is soon ambushed because it turns out he was trained to detect intruders.
03:48His mind fights back and Saito ends up injured.
03:50The team suggests accepting him so he can wake up, but it turns out Kov left out an important piece of information.
03:55He reveals to them that since they gave in too much to be able to reach the three levels of sleep,
03:58if they will not wake up, but will fall into imbo, the last level of sleep from which it is practically impossible to escape.
04:05Only one person has been able to get out of there and that is Kov.
04:07It turns out that in the past, he and his wife spent 50 dreamlike years in the imbo building their own world.
04:13And Maul refused to wake up because for her that world was the real one.
04:16Kov managed to convince her to wake up, but when they did, she still believed she was still in a dream and that death was the only escape.
04:22And so, on their anniversary, Maul took his own life, making it seem like Kov was the culprit and that's why he's on the run.
04:28So in order for Saito not to fall into imbo, they must hurry.
04:30Eames, the forger, poses as godfather Peter to convince Robert that he doesn't have to follow in his father's footsteps.
04:36Robert's projections continue to attack, so they get into a van while being chased, and within it, they generate the second dream, which takes place in a hotel.
04:43In this second level, Kov makes Robert believe that his godfather Peter is the one who wants to infiltrate his mind and that he is one of the agents protecting him.
04:50Robert believes him and Kov ends up convincing him to put his godfather Peter to sleep and enter his dream to find out his motives.
04:55But the reality is that they are going to dive into the third and final level of Robert's unconscious.
04:59The third level takes place in a highly protected fortress in the middle of the snow.
05:03The team must hurry because Saito keeps dying.
05:05But things get complicated because in the first level, Yusuf is cornered and throws the truck off a bridge, and the falls, remember, are the kicks that wake you from sleep.
05:14So now they must finish the mission before the truck hits the water because to wake up they need to synchronize the kicks on all levels.
05:21There is some time because the deeper the level of sleep, the slower the time.
05:25Kov covers Robert until he manages to enter the building.
05:27Robert thinks he's entering his godfather Peter's mind, when in fact he's entering his own.
05:32Just as he is about to enter the vault where the idea will be implanted, Maul's projection appears.
05:36Kov hesitates to shoot and Maul kills Robert, sending him into limbo.
05:40Kov and Arya decide to go and rescue him, but in limbo, deep within his unconscious, Kov must confront his trauma in order to save the others.
05:47It turns out that when Kov was in limbo with his wife and she refused to wake up, it was Kov who planted the simple but powerful idea in her that this world wasn't real so he could return to his children.
05:56But when he woke up Maul continued believing that nothing was real, not even reality itself, and that he had to die to wake up, and that's why he jumped out of the window.
06:05Kov knew that planting an idea was possible because he himself had done it to his wife, and that's why he's tormented by guilt.
06:11So, in limbo is Maul, who has Robert locked up and won't let him go unless Kov stays.
06:16Kov tells her that she can't stay because she doesn't exist, finally forgives herself, accepts that Maul is not his wife and lets her go.
06:23They find Robert and Arya kicks him off the top of the building to return him to level 3.
06:28There he opens the vault, speaks to a projection of his father who tells him that he was disappointed in him, not because he wasn't like him, but because he tried to be like him.
06:34The idea is planted and now all the kicks start happening.
06:37Meanwhile, Kov and Arya remain in limbo, and Arya tells her to leave and that he will stay to search for Saito, who should have already died from his wound.
06:45Arya jumps out and Kov finds an old and confused Saito in limbo and rescues him by reminding him that this world isn't real and so everyone on the plane wakes up.
06:53Saito makes the call, they land, and Kov clears customs without a problem because he can now return.
06:59Metaphorically, Kov was a fugitive from his own conflicts.
07:01He avoided the feelings of guilt that tormented him over his wife's death, which made him unable to function in the real world.
07:07That's why he couldn't return home, but now he can because he has managed to confront and resolve his conflicts.
07:13And so he returns to his children, but not before turning the totem once more.
07:17Happy to have woken up.
07:19Or maybe not.
