I Rarely Wake Up Dreaming

I Rarely Wake Up Dreaming, known in German as Selten wache ich träumend auf, is scheduled for release on August 9, 2026. Produced by X Filme Creative Pool, the film centers on Olya and Oleh, a young queer Ukrainian couple whose relationship is strained by two simultaneous pressures: one partner's gender transition and the upheaval of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The film is a German-language drama that situates a personal story of identity and partnership against the backdrop of ongoing war.
