OPENING NIGHT FILM
DREAMS (The Oslo Trilogy)
Winner of the Golden Bear, 2025 Berlin International Film Festival.
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 (SEX LOVE) is part of the SEX-LOVE-DREAMS trilogy of director Dag Johan Haugerud.
“Haugerud’s delicate direction, paired with Cecilie Semec’s gauzy cinematography, builds a world that’s dreamlike but grounded. Knitwear is an unexpectedly titillating star.” – Irish Times
“For anyone with sharp recollections of the heady rush of first love and the obsessive fixation on one person to the exclusion of all else, Dreams will strike chords.” – The Hollywood Reporter
