Dreams

Fernando (Isaac Hernández, Someone Has to Die), a young ballet dancer from Mexico, dreams of international fame and life in the U.S. Believing that his lover, Jennifer (Jessica Chastain), a socialite and philanthropist, will support him, he leaves everything behind and narrowly escapes death while crossing the border. His arrival, however, disrupts Jennifer’s carefully curated world. She will do anything to protect their future together – and the life she has built for herself.

The latest film from Michel Franco – a regular at Miami Film Festival and a prior GEMS guest whose films include Memory, New Order, and After Lucia – in this film he reunites with his Memory star Chastain, an Oscar winner for The Eyes of Tammy Faye and nominee for The Help and Zero Dark Thirty.
