Three sisters retreat to their family’s holiday home after the youngest survives another suicide attempt. What is meant to be a place of rest and recovery slowly turns into a place where everyone is hiding something. When bad news about their mother emerges, the two eldest sisters decide not to tell the truth right away. Secrets pile up, mistrust creeps between the rooms, and an unexpected visitor puts pressure on the fragile balance.

Dawning is a restrained family portrait that gradually shifts towards horror, without losing sight of the human drama or resorting to easy genre conventions.
