Dreams

17-year-old Johanne falls head over heels in love with her beautiful French teacher. It is her first crush and in an attempt to hold on to the feeling, she writes down everything that she experiences. When her mother and grandmother come to read what she has written, they first react with shock at the intimate descriptions, then become captivated by the literary qualities of the diary. But what really happened between Johanne and the teacher? And should the story be published as a book? 'Dreaming' is about infatuation and lust and how we share all these emotions across generations. The trilogy 'Sex', 'Dreams and 'Love' all revolve around desire, identity and the longing for freedom.
