Dreams

Post-screening Happy Hour with 50% off wine

Winner of the top prize at the 2025 Berlin International Film Festival, this Queer coming-of-age love story from Norwegian director Dag Johan Haugerud follows 17-year-old Johanne as she falls in love with her French teacher, Johanna. Tender and funny, Haugerud captures those first stirrings of desire and sexual awakening and takes us on the wild ride of teen self-discovery. Part of Dag Johan Haugerud’s thematically interconnected Oslo Stories Trilogy, alongside the films Love and Sex.

Join us for a post-screening Happy Hour at Take 3 Wine Bar & Café—just show your ticket at the bar to get 50% off any wine on our menu. Meet your neighbors, make new friends, and raise a glass to Queer cinema!

"For anyone with sharp recollections of the heady rush of first love and the obsessive fixation on one person to the exclusion of all else, Dreams will strike chords."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
"The film’s precise juxtapositions of sight and sound produce brilliant flashes of insight, cascading specifics of texture and emotional coloration, and a cumulatively seductive, almost musical flow."
Justin Chang, The New Yorker
