Dreaming Of You

Emerging from a wild, working-class dreamscape of friendship, fame and fuzzy guitars, this is the story of six Wirral teens who became The Coral and shook the British indie scene.

Dreaming of You is a nostalgic, immersive coming-of-age documentary charting the rise of The Coral, six childhood mates from the Wirral who turned suburban misfit energy into musical magic. Set against the backdrop of 1990s Britain, in particular the vibrant music scene in the north of England, the film mixes playful animation, gritty archive, and intimate audio diaries to tell the band’s story in their own words. As they escape the sleepy streets of Hoylake for the chaos of the early 2000s indie explosion, their journey captures the thrill and confusion of chasing a dream. With a distinct Britpop-era aesthetic and deep emotional resonance, Dreaming of You is a heartfelt ode to friendship, creativity and the messy pursuit of fame.
