I had a dream that could be the plot of a movie. 12 refugee children or possible kidnapped are being held in house.prison / castle . At the start we see scenes of their lives. The oldest boy has a girlfriend who has just started to work in a beauty salon. One of the oldest girls is very bookish and smart, I suppose they are the main characters and all the rest have various personalities and quirks.
Anyhoo so they are being held in this large building, not exactly a prison, more of a house, mall , office building. And at one point all the jailers go home and the kids start plotting an escape-gathering supplies, food, guns and such and find also a huge pile of cash. However they soon notice that there is a janitor who has shown up and they decide to lock him up and go on with their preparations for escape at dawn. At some point when they are close to leaving some one asks where the janitor was locked up and someone else on hearing the answer remarks that there is a phone in that particular room They panic and start leaving in smaller groups just as cops and bad guys and who ever is jailing them arrives. Thus ensues a chase through all kinds of weird locations , like an amusement park , a railroad station etc. During the chase the group gets smaller , some children sacrificing themselves by becoming decoys etc and various mishaps until the group is just the one oldest boy, the oldest girl and two other girls. Finally they arrive at a beauty salon of the boys girlfriend and the place has grown - there is a fashion show in progress. The whole while the kids think if they can return to their hometown with the treasure of cash --well achieving this goal is what motivates them. The hair dresser girlfriend realizes that this little group of four is the notorious 'escapees' and knows the cops are in hot pursuit. The smart girl sees the situation and takes the other girls off to find the bathroom and they immediately use the resources of the salon to disguise themselves . The cops have no idea how big the group is , they only know how many have been lost along the way, so the boy gets arrested /case closed and the three girls who passed as models remain to live out the goal of the group.
I have no idea why I had this dream, the theme of refuges, police brutality, returning home and I am letting my gray hair grow out...so I suppose it makes sense.
