Dreaming of Lions

Luísa wakes from a strange dream where she converses with a talking lion. Instead of dismissing it, she starts jotting these dreams in a notebook, and they gradually grow more vivid and detailed. Her ordinary life in Lisbon—working at a bookstore, meeting friends—begins to intertwine with the fantastical worlds she conjures at night. When a mysterious stranger from one dream appears in her waking life, the line between fiction and reality blurs. This 2025 comedy fantasy drama explores the power of imagination and how our deepest dreams can reshape reality. The director blends magical realism with gentle irony, crafting a love story that begins where logic ends.
