Oslo Stories Trilogy: Dreams

The Oslo Stories Trilogy (Dreams, Love, Sex) is an ambitious set of films from novelist-turned-filmmaker Dag Johan Haugerud, contemplating romance, intimacy, and desire in contemporary Norway.

A Berlin Golden Bear Winner (2025), Dreams is a coming-of-age story about Johane, who falls in love for the first time with her teacher. Preserving her emotions and experiences in her journal, she shows the work to her mother and grandmother. Initially shocked, they soon see the literary potential and debate whether to encourage its publication, setting in motion a frank exploration of their differing views on love, sexuality, and self-discovery.

Witty, gentle, and eye-opening, Haugerud charts a full investigation on what contemporary love means in this series of films about romantic, sexual, philosophical and creative awakenings.

We will be screening Oslo Stories Trilogy: Love and Sex in September.
