Dreams – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

A love that dances on the edge of two worlds. Fernando (the impressive debut of Isaac Hernández) is a young, gifted ballet dancer from Mexico who dreams of a great career and a life in the United States. He believes that his beloved — the charismatic Jennifer (Jessica Chastain), an influential philanthropist and fixture of elite social circles — will open the door to a new life for him. Risking his own safety, he leaves everything behind to join her. Yet his sudden appearance in Jennifer’s life disrupts the carefully constructed world she inhabits. She is faced with a difficult choice: how far will she go to protect not only the love that has bound her to Fernando despite their differences, but also the reputation she has built over the years?

Dreams, directed by Michel Franco, is a story charged with sensual tension, a tale of passion, cultural collision, ambition, and the price we pay for our dreams. Can a love between two such different worlds survive?
