Golden Bear for Best Film (awarded to the film’s producers)
Drømmer (Dreams (Sex Love))
by Dag Johan Haugerud
Produced by: Yngve Sæther, Hege Hauff Hvattu.
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. 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. Johanne’s grandmother, an established poet herself, feels both pride and unease at her granddaughter’s natural talent. But questions linger: What truly happened between Johanne and her teacher? Where does reality end and fiction begin? And should these deeply personal writings ever find their way to publication
