Dreams (Sex Love)

At 17, Johanne falls in love for the first time with her female teacher. Wanting to preserve her intimate feelings, she documents her newfound 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 in this delicately drawn story. DREAMS is the final installment of director Dag Johan Haugerud’s trilogy SEX-LOVE-DREAMS.
