Dreams (15)

About the show

Johanne, a Norwegian teenager, develops a crush on her charismatic teacher, Johanna, but is afraid to talk about it to anybody, least of all her single mum Kristin. To come to terms with her passion she keeps an intimate journal, which she decides to show to her writer grandmother Karin, who in turn encourages Kristin to read it.

Directed by Dag Johan Haugerud and winner of Berlin’s Golden Bear award 2025, Dreams is a mischievous film in which Johanne’s revelations (possibly real or are bits made up?) prompt consternation in the two older women, causing one to question her tepid online-dating life and the other to look at her creative timidity.
