Eva is a strong-willed 16-year-old girl who lives with her mother, her younger sister and their cat, but desperately wants to move in with her estranged father. Clinging onto him as he goes through a second adolescence, she balances between the tenderness and sensitivity of teenage life and the ruthlessness of the adult world. ‘I have Electric Dreams’ captures the thin line between love and hate, in a world where aggression and rage intertwined with the vertigo of female sexual awakening.
