Overview

The Dream is an Arabic dramedy following a group of disillusioned artists — actors, screenwriters, and directors — who escape to the desert with a shared ambition: to make a film entirely on their own terms. Far from the pressures of the industry, they believe the open landscape will reignite their creativity. Instead, the project takes on a life of its own, and the group finds themselves lost — both literally and figuratively — in the very film they set out to create. A sharp, self-aware look at artistic obsession and the fine line between passion and delusion.
