Sinopse
„The American Dream“ - the epitome of the hope that everybody can achieve everything by hard work and passion. Is this hope floating above the U.S. like a myth? Or maybe more like the sword of Damocles?, „Dreams & Pieces“ is taking the audience to a 8.000 miles journey from Chicago to Houston and from San Francisco to Washington D.C., a journey trough living rooms, kitchens, Bars and over roads. Experiences with racism and the personal life of the protagonists are in focus. The imagination of „the land of unlimited opportunities“ gets suddenly confined through day-to-day racism, economical developments, forgotten areas. It lets us hear the words of young people who benefit from the achievements of their former generations but are also deeply rooted in a totally different living experience.
