With a new girlfriend and new experiences, things are looking up until a series of strange dreams start plaguing him.

Reviews / Votes
"Dreams is a portrait of humanity's greatest downfall: the hubris of intellect over emotion. It questions the ability of its characters to escape this hamartia, from friendship to family, sex to love, and blood to water. Whilst logic pulls one way, Fox's characters greedily pursue courses of action that can only lead to devastation. Whether pursuing an impossible love or sating despicable cravings, Dreams leaves no stone unturned in its quest for the truth," - LILY LAYCOCK.More details
