Dreams (2024)

Director: Dag Johan Haugerud Cast: Ella Øverbye, Selome Emnetu Ane Dahl Torp Anne Marit Jacobsen Andrine Sæther Rating: R21 Johanne falls in love for the first time, with her teacher. To preserve her feelings, she documents her emotions and experiences in writing. When her mother and grandmother read what she has written, they are initially shocked by its intimate content but soon see that it has literary potential. As they debate whether to publish it, Johanne navigates the gap between her romantic fantasy and reality, and all three women confront their differing views on love, sexuality, and self-discovery. DREAMS is part of the SEX-LOVE-DREAMS trilogy of director Dag Johan Haugerud. Dreams won the Golden Bear at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival in February 2025. Haugerud has opened up a conversation and perhaps lowered barriers for people to indeed discuss their sex lives more openly. A more inspiring and grounded look at how to approach relationships and sex than the idealized dream of what love should be. 110mins In Norwegian with English subtitles Norway, 2024 Drama
