Seventeen-year-old Johanne is in love with her French teacher. She writes about her feelings in a private diary, which sparks tensions within her family as her mother and grandmother confront their own unfulfilled dreams. The film is part of director Dag Johan Haugerud’s Sex – Dreams – Love trilogy, praised for its authentic and sensitive exploration of human intimacy across different stages of life. Premiering at this year’s Berlinale, Haugerud’s romantic coming-of-age drama (Beware of Children – ZFF 2016; Love – ZFF 2019) is the first Norwegian film to win the Golden Bear in the history of the festival.
