Beyond Dreams

Drama, Sweden 2017

Rojda Sekersöz's feature-film debut delivers a much-awaited women power punch. A gang's friendship and dreams are put to the test when Mirja comes out of prison intent on breaking with the past and embarking on a new life. Her choice is between being loyal to her sick mother and younger sister, or standing by the friends who truly were her family. Beyond Dreams is about who you are expected to be and who you want to be, both in your chosen group and society beyond. A humorous and refreshing film about young women's rebellion.
