Idyllic childhood Massima (expressive Nicolo Cabras) ends the mysterious death of her beloved mother. The priest claims that his mother wanted to go to heaven to protect him better from there. But the boy does not stop asking questions about the cause of her death.

The loving relationship of the child to his mother is revealed in Massim's memoirs, which do not leave him in adulthood. In the 90s, Massimo (moving Valerio Mastandrea, "Angel Face", "Nine - Nine") is an appreciated journalist and war correspondent in Sarajevo. Severe experiences cause Massimo to start experiencing panic attacks.

Sales of parents' homes forced him to face traumatic memories of the past. Will Elisa (Bérénice Bejo, "The Childhood of the Boss", "The Artist"), a full-fledged physician, help Massim's troubled past open up and face painful childhood?

The film "Sweet Dreams" was based on the novel by Massimo Gramellini "Fai Bei Sogni" (Sweet Dreams), which in Italy has achieved one of the greatest publishing success of recent years.

"Sweet Dreams" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2016 and opened the Directors Fortnight section. Polish viewers will be able to see the latest film Marco Bellocchio (Golden Lion in Venice for totality of creativity) as early as June 9 in theaters!
