Dreams (Sex Love)
Synopsis
Aged 17, Johanne (Ella Øverbye) has found her first true love. Unfortunately, it’s her high school teacher, Johanna (Selome Emnetu). The similarity of their names makes this crush feel like fate, but the teenager – not so naive – knows that this student-teacher fantasy should never come to pass. Seeking release from her obsession, she pours her feelings into writing. A confessional Johanne then shares her erotic journal with her mother (Ane Dahl Torp, Charter, SFF 2020) and grandma, a writer herself. Both declare it a literary masterpiece, and implore her to publish it – though it also ignites an ethical debate between them. Haugerud closes out his lauded thematic trilogy of standalone relationship studies with aplomb.
