“For anyone with sharp recollections of the heady rush of first love, Dreams will strike chordsˮ - The Hollywood Reporter
A Golden Bear Winner (Berlin, 2025), Dreams is a coming-of-age story about Johanne, who falls in love for the first time with her teacher. Preserving her emotions and experiences in her journal, she shows the work to her mother and grandmother. Initially shocked, they soon see the literary potential and debate whether to encourage its publication, setting in motion a frank exploration of their differing views on love, sexuality, and self-discovery.

“A breezy, sexy, thoughtful filmˮ - Variety
In Love, (Venice, 2024), Haugerud explores the sexual freedom experienced by Tor, a gay nurse and the more conventional constraints Marianne, his straight colleague, encounters. Neither wants to be bound by conforming to societal norms, but where one can seemingly live a carefree existence, for women, the realities are more complex.
