It is the dream of having a whole family that drives Per. He is part of a group with the telling name 'Father' at the social services department. The group, led by the social worker Torben, has been created for a group of men, who all have in common that the municipality is concerned about the welfare of their children, whom they are more or less alone with. Per is a former drug addict and alcoholic, but is now clean in his seventh year and has his daughter, who lives with a foster family, for three days every fortnight. He threw her mother out because she was not capable of looking after herself, and even less their merely 14-month-old daughter. But now, Christina, the mother, is back. It has been seven years since Christina disappeared, and the director Mira Jargil follows the intense struggle for both Per, Christina and, especially, their daughter to come to terms with the new situation the family suddenly finds itself in. Per must figure out a way to tell his little girl why he has not been able to have her live with him, but when is she ready to hear it, and is he at all capable of putting it into words? Mira Jargil's new film 'Dreaming of a Family' is a powerful portrayal of a socially challenged family's attempts to do the right thing, and to find a balance between ones own and society's expectations as to how to be a real family.
