tough girls don’t dream

tough girls don’t dream

short film (10mins, 35mm, Hungary, 2011)

In a depressing, dreamless world, a girl who can’t find her place falls in love with another. Their love is a dream in this dreary world, where people want to exploit every minute, without saving time for important things. Every artificial pleasure is available, though what has been natural, like sleep, dream, love or timeless togetherness seems to be gone forever.
