Dream Scenario

Paul Matthews is a man you would probably overlook in real life: bald, wearing wrinkled pants and brown leather loafers, he is a professor at a university you’ve never heard of. He has a supportive wife, two daughters, and ambitions he is unable to fulfill. And then something strange happens. This unremarkable man suddenly starts appearing in the dreams of millions of people around the world and becomes a global celebrity overnight. Suddenly, all his wishes begin to come true, and his sparsely attended lectures quickly fill up. But he also learns how high the price of fame can be. Norwegian director Kristoffer Borgli shocked and entertained audiences in 2022 with his unique critical comedy Sick of Myself, and this time, he continues to surprise his audience, now prepared for anything.
