Dream-premiere for Danish distribution-movie "Drømmen". Two weeks after the opening the movie has sold 125.628 tickets.
“From the beginning we had great expectations to “The Dream”, but it has managed much better than expected” Jan Lehman from Nordisk Film Distribution tells. “The Dream” sold as many tickets in its second weekend on the white screen as in the opening weekend, what is exceptional, because the sale of tickets normally falls during the first week. Before the opening the overall sale of tickets was estimated to 250.000, but now the Film Distribution is counting with 350.000 tickets.
Synopsis:
The new movie “The Dream”, directed by Niels Arden Oplev takes place at the end of the 1960s.

Berthelsen), has just been assigned. One day the pupil and farmer son, Frits (Janus Dissing Rathke), is maltreated by the inspector. But Frits is not frightened, he is stubborn and knows who Martin Luther King is. Freddie Svale helps Frits and together with Frits’ parents, Peder and Stine (Jens Jørn Spottag and Anne-Grethe Bjarup Riis), they fight for justice. A fight that has consequences for all parties involved. The movie is based on real incidents.
