Set in Costa Rica, the film follows Eva, 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.

Bathed in a richly textured imagery and soaked in raw sensitivity, I Have Electric Dreams captures the thin line between love and hate, in a world where aggression and rage are intertwined with the vertigo of female sexual awakening.
