幾個台灣女子各自來香港尋夢。歌聲甜美的林美雲(林建明 飾),夢想由酒廊歌手變成明星;阿清(焦姣 飾)及小風(鄭裕玲 飾)本是室友,卻為了找工作而反目成仇;前衛開放的作家唐倩(白韻琴 飾),與詩人、攝影師及劇作家等熱戀,激情之後能否找到愛的歸宿?
三個短篇合成多個台灣女人的故事。第一段寫台灣來的林建明夢想做歌星,為此而多方鑽營,卻讓人看到台前幕後的笑與淚。第二段寫三個台女來港做黑工,焦姣誤會鄭裕玲告發她以謀己職,到冰釋以後鄭又被人告發拘押反台,第三個則回台結婚去了。第三段改自陳映真小說《唐倩的喜劇》,才女白韻琴流轉於詩人(李國松)、攝影師(陳欣健)和留學生(余雅倫)之間尋覓性與愛,被追求藝術、哲學的虛榮蒙蔽而不自知。三段都寫不同境況下女人的夢想現實與虛榮,喜中有悲,但都浮光掠影,是方育平白描人間色相的試筆。

Dramatised documentary stressing the importance of motorcycle training for teenagers.
Early in the summer of 1977 a musical fiction film called "The Wonderstory" was filmed in Tartu. Despite all frames being documentary, "A Dream" does not neccessarily showcase documentary. It's not a reportage of the filmmaking, rather a vision, an echo that has vanished, but has still existed.
