Johanna falls passionately in love with her teacher and pours her feelings onto paper. A year later, after the emotions have faded, her mother and grandmother discover what she wrote. The teenager’s raw honesty is both shocking and revealing of her literary talent. As Johanna debates whether to publish the text, she and her loved ones reflect on intimacy and the fragile line between fantasy and reality – for in love, even the smallest glance or touch carries immense weight. Dreams is the final part of Dag Johan Haugerud’s trilogy on sexuality, and the first Norwegian film ever to win the Berlinale’s Golden Bear.
