Dreams
Michel Franco / MX, US, 2025 / 98 min.
Daring erotic drama in which Jessica Chastain plays a wealthy philanthropist who is the lover – and exploiter – of a Mexican dancer who crossed the American border illegally. This destructive love story is a provocative, tightly directed critique of class relations in the US.
Socialite Jennifer (Chastain) looks for artists and good causes to add lustre to her family’s fortune and improve the family’s image. She meets young dancer Fernando (Isaac Hernández) in Mexico City, and embarks on a wild romance with him.
Prelude
Before Dreams, you'll see Michelle Verhoeks' 2017 short film Diep (4 minutes). This animated short, from Eye's collection, depicts a woman's inner journey. In a surreal ocean, she discovers her sexuality. Her body is an expression of the soul, revealing itself and merging with the poetic environment. This short animated drawing combines analog and digital techniques.
