An ambitious trilogy from Norwegian novelist/filmmaker Dag Johan Haugerud, THE OSLO TRILOGY; LOVE - SEX - DREAMS are three distinct feature films linked by their themes of nontraditional intimacy, but need not be seen in any particular order.
"Haugerud's SEX-LOVE-DREAMS trilogy -- three overlapping words cleverly incorporated into the main title sequence -- is an impressive achievement that's admirable for the intricate layering of its themes and the overall lightness of touch. Savvy programmers and arthouse distributors should be lining up to play the three films as a package." - David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

Marianne, a pragmatic doctor, and Tor, a compassionate nurse, are both avoiding conventional relationships. One evening, after a blind date, Marianne encounters Tor on the ferry. Tor, who often spends his nights there seeking casual encounters with men, shares his experiences of spontaneous intimacy. Intrigued by his perspective, Marianne begins to explore whether casual intimacy could also be an option for her.
Written and directed by Dag Johan Haugerud. Cast: Andrea Bræin Hovig, Tayo Cittadella Jacobsen, Marte Engebrigtsen & Lars Jacob Holm.
Sex

Two men, both in heterosexual marriages, have an unexpected experience that challenges them to reconsider their understanding of sexuality, gender, and identity. One has a sexual encounter with another man, without considering it either an expression of homosexuality or infidelity, and discusses it with his wife afterwards. The other finds himself in nocturnal dreams here he is seen as a woman, stirring confusion and leading him to question how much his personality is shaped by the gaze of others.
Written and directed by Dag Johan Haugerud. Cast: Jan Gunnar Røise, Thorbjørn Haar, Siri Forberg & Brigitte Larsen.

Dag Johan Haugerud IN PERSON after the Sept. 19 show!
Johanne falls in love for the first time, with her teacher. To preserve her feelings, she documents her emotions and experiences in writing. When her mother and grandmother read what she has written, they are initially shocked by its intimate content but soon see that it has literary potential. As they debate whether to publish it, Johanne navigates the gap between her romantic fantasy and reality, and all three women confront their differing views on love, sexuality, and self-discovery.
