Teenager Johanne turns her teacher crush into diary entries, which her mother and grandmother unexpectedly consider publishing. Sex and Love director Dag Johan Haugerud further showcases his gift for embracing complex human connections with genuine empathy and sensitivity. Dreams, partly an ode to Oslo, became the first Norwegian film to win the Golden Bear at Berlin.
Who hasn't had a crush on a teacher at some point in school? Seventeen-year-old Johanne is head over heels for her French teacher and channels her feelings into a diary. But Johanne writes so well that her mother and grandmother are convinced it's the makings of a debut novel. Fortunately, director Dag Johan Haugerud has a gift for exploring complex human relationships with deep empathy and emotional nuance. Gentle conversations, thoughtful reflections, and sharp observations shape this second entry in the trilogy Sex (FFG2024) / Dreams / Love - three standalone films about identity, desire, and freedom. In a tender search for what connects rather than divides, Haugerud once again maps out a loving portrait of Oslo. Dreams made history, becoming the first Norwegian film ever to win the Golden Bear, the top prize at the Berlin Film Festival.
