Despite having gone into production in the summer of 2023 (in Mexico City and San Francisco), Dreams was not a film that Michel Franco wanted to rush for a 2024 drop. Today, The Match Factory officially launches sales on the project (easily be among our most anticipated features for 2025) and provides us with a better breakdown on what to expect. As we already knew, Jessica Chastain, newbie Isaac Hernández and Rupert Friend were part of the cast, but learn that Hernández plays a more significant role in the film and as was the case with Memory, Chastain will more or less be equal footing with – here we go with the synopsis:
Fernando (Hernández), a young ballet dancer from Mexico, dreams of being internationally recognized and living in the US. Convinced that he will receive support from his lover, Jennifer (Chastain), a socialite and philanthropist, Fernando leaves everything behind, narrowly escaping death. His arrival disrupts Jennifer’s world, and she will do anything to protect both their futures – and the carefully curated life she’s built.
The feature is produced by AR Content’s Alexander Rodnyansky and Teorema’s Michel Franco and Eréndira Núñez Larios. Look for this to likely crack the Cannes line-up.
