A girl, locked in a room, makes a magical portal to escape reality using her imagination, a stuffed rabbit and a diamond. She travels to a dark forest where she meets a mysterious man with an animal mask. Back to reality, her domineering mother prepares a birthday cake and after a while enters the room. The girl seems indifferent during the visit, but suddenly decides to hug her mother. Soon, the mother is seduced and lured into a dance with her daughter, only to find herself trapped on the other side of the portal, into the dark world her daughter created.
Directed by Thanasis Tsimpinis, Dawn leans on a strong ensemble — Michele Valley, Nancy Boukli, Thanos Tsakalidis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2013.
