Dream Girl

Dream Girl

Original Title: Traumfrau Documentary, 20'00"; 2012 Directing: Oliver Schwarz SYNOPSIS For most of his life, Dirk has been searching for the woman of his dreams. After several failed relationships and a burnout, he finally seems to have found the love of his life, Jenny: the perfect match at first sight – but somehow fundamentally different... The short film “Dream Girl” takes the viewer into a world between imagination and reality that is both strange and surprisingly familiar.
