The Dreamer

Audience Award at the 2023 Venice Film Festival for Anaïs Tellenne's directorial debut, a seductively unclassifiable modern tale that reveals a gripping story of longing and frustration, creative expression and unrequited love.

Synopsis

A 60-year-old and one-eyed caretaker of an abandoned mansion lives with his mother in a small cottage at the entrance to the large estate. The days follow one another without surprises until the stormy night when the family heiress returns to the mansion. Nothing will ever be the same again.
