Dreams

Dag Johan Haugerud · 2025 CE · Film · Nordic · Contemporary

A seventeen-year-old in Oslo falls for her French teacher and writes the whole of it down, and when her mother and grandmother read the manuscript they argue less about what happened than about whether it is good, and whether it should be published. The girl's account is heard in voiceover over ordinary streets. Third of a trilogy, and the one that took the Golden Bear.
