Welcome to Harveston, a quaint town in the Australian outback. It is 1981, and Fred Fine returns to his hometown after a decade in the military, including service in the Vietnam War. His mind scarred by conflict and peculiarities that didn't exist before he joined the Army, he now stands at the crossroads between past and future.
Inheriting the only motel in town following his mother's passing, Fred embodies the true Aussie battler spirit; seeing not a struggling business but a beacon of potential for his beloved hometown. With big dreams and a glass-half-full attitude, Fred is set on transforming his sleepy town into a bustling tourist haven, revealing the untouched magic of the bush to the world.
But Fred's crusade for progress is threatened by a formidable foe - a mining company with eyes on the town. As he rallies his motley crew of childhood mates, each with their quirky charm, Fred strategises to fend off this industrial giant. His off-beat tourism ideas and larger-than-life enthusiasm lead to a tapestry of clumsy encounters and heartfelt eff orts, blending comedy with the stark reality of life's struggles through trauma.
'Don't Forget to Dream' dances on the line between humour and heartache. It is a modern bush yarn for the larrikin soul, who finds camaraderie in the face of adversity and joy in the simple pleasures of outback life.
