Dreams of Real Estate

From the perspective of individuals, however, purchasing a property is much more than just a transaction. It is sometimes the realization of a lifelong dream; often, it marks a significant turning point in a unique story. The search for a home is a moment of transition where fundamental aspirations emerge.

Dreams of Real Estate delves into our imagination of the ideal home. The director highlights irresistible residences—Parisian lofts, Aix bastides, Gascon shepherd’s huts—whose splendor evokes a way of life and well-being. But there are also dreams of suburban houses, the ideal for many families fleeing city centers. These properties serve as the backdrop for an exploration of the intimate relationship we have with real estate: is it emotional, heritage-based, or even esoteric?

With humor and warmth, the film’s characters give us a glimpse into their own dreams of property. What does acquiring a new roof mean for them? What do they feel upon first encountering their dream home? Real estate agents take on the role of psychologists to uncover their clients’ true needs. They explain that in these times of housing shortages, the search for the ideal property is also an adventure full of twists and turns, with its major disappointments and great moments of joy.
