50ª mostra > filmes > I Rarely Wake Up Dreaming
The love of Olya and Oleh, a young queer Ukrainian couple, is put to the test when one partner’s gender transition collides with Russia’s full-scale invasion. As the war narrows and challenges the boundaries of masculinity and femininity, they struggle to preserve their bond and their sense of self. What does it mean to be a man in a country fighting for its identity and survival? Winner of the L’ambiente è qualità di vita award at the Locarno Film Festival.
