To avoid homelessness, a mother resorts to extreme measures in this accomplished and touching and subtle drama.
Leta hasn't been able to pay the rent for months. When Leta and her one-year-old son are thrown out of their apartment, they move in with Sophie, an old woman who is bedridden.
Sophie's daughter even then hires Lena as a nurse. To keep her job and a roof over her head, Leta has to keep Sophie alive at all costs.
"DAYBREAK is a strong debut with two fantastic leading actresses and a successful and subtly touching drama." (cineuropa.org)
