CALL FOR DREAM
RAN SALVIN
2020
In rainy Tokyo, Eko complicates her life by publishing a ‘Call for Dreams’ ad in a Tokyo newspaper. With her scooter she visits strangers in an alienating city, who leave descriptions of their strange dreams and fantasies on her analog answering machine and for a fee acts them out. As the dreams slowly seep into reality and a parallel police investigation of a murder in Tel Aviv unfolds, what is real and what is not is getting harder to distinguish
