In Your Dreams!

Synopsis

But your weird dreams are scary too. Get real, dammit!

Only a few girls practice the art of parkour – running and somersaulting over rooftops, free-climbing up rusted scaffolding and leaping from one wall to the next. Laura takes it all in her stride. Though as she wildly races through the streets of Prague, her thoughts are running wild too. She has a crush on Luky, but he doesn’t show much interest in her. Laura’s parents live apart, and her mother is desperately looking for someone new. Jealousy, misunderstandings with her best friend – Laura’s life is full of confusion. Sometimes, when she can’t take it anymore, fantasy worlds evolve. When hope and fear push through the cracks of reality, it gets harder to keep her life in balance.

About the film

Parkour is a lifestyle led predominantly by boys who try to push the limits of their own bodies in industrial urban areas. During their practices parkourists improve their movements and get ready for possible extreme situations. Their skills of climbing, jumping and getting over obstacles give them the necessary advantage and freedom. Parkourists do not compete among themselves, belay
each other and cooperate when putting together their joint choreographies during the trainings. For teenagers parkour is a synonym for independence and freedom.
Laura’s summer story takes place within such community of parkourists. Visually impressive somersaults, jumps and handsprings create a background of a parallel story of teenagers who learn to do parkour and each of them approaches its philosophy in his own way. Laura perceives it as a new path of life, for Luky it is more a way to draw attention to himself. And taking an unnecessary risk he actually betrays the principles of parkour.
