Following the death of his wife, Bob, a cinematographer, decides it is time to locate Sabine, a woman he once loved who reminded him of Rita Hayworth. Despite the threat to his health, Bob sets out on this pilgrimage to the past.
His beautiful but unhappily married daughter Rita picks up his trail and finds him in the company of a sensitive vagabond who immediately takes a fancy to her. Meanwhile, Rita's workaholic husband and their rebellious teenage daughter decide to join the road odyssey. They want to patch together their sundered family.
Dreaming of Rita is a rousing comedy that speaks forcefully about the erotics of love, the pressures of modern marriage, and the ways in which families must be knit together with the threads of constant care and affection.
