Summer Films- Sweet Dreams

The programme for Summer Films 2025 has plenty in store again this year: atmospheric short films, a live film concert, off-the-wall gems and the grand comeback of cliché bingo. Films that missed the cinemas this year will be screened under the stars by Summer Films.

Indonesia, early 20th century. Jan, a wealthy plantation owner, suddenly dies after visiting Siti, the housekeeper he regularly abuses and with whom he has an illegitimate son. His wife Agathe quickly brings her son over from the Netherlands to take over the colonial family business. But Jan's unexpected will brings out the worst in everyone. A deliciously venomous portrait of petty humanity, laced with grim humour and unexpected anti-realism.
