DRØMMER (DREAMS), with a soundtrack by Anna Berg, has won The Golden Bear for Best Film at the Internationale Filmfestspiele (Berlinale).
At 17, Johanne falls head over heels in love with her female teacher. In an attempt to capture this first crush, she pours her experiences onto paper with raw honesty and when her mother and grandmother discover her writings, their initial shock at the intimate descriptions gives way to admiration for their literary merit. The two older women begin to reflect on their own love lives, their pleasures and missed opportunities, and are reminded of the overwhelming sensation of first love; and of the longing for something more.
Directed by Dag Johan Haugerud and produced by Yngve Sæther and Hege Hauff Hvattum, DRØMMER forms part of the Sex Dreams Love trilogy comprising three loosely connected stories which speak in different way about the way we behave to achieve our inner longings. Since the 1950s, only 8 Norwegian films have been selected to compete in the festivals main competition of the Berlinale: one of the largest and most prestigious public film festivals in the world. DRØMMER is the first Norwegian film to win the main prize.
Congratulations Anna, and all involved in DRØMMER’s success!
