Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes tells the story of a disruptive couple in a '60s gothic setting.
Margot (Luisa Taraz) has inherited a castle, which is visited with her curmudgeonly husband Dieter (played superbly by Frederik von Lüttichau).
The first half skillfully delivers a psychogram of this toxic relationship, amid the surreal castle where space and time seem to have their own rules.
But it is in the second half that the film takes an unexpected new direction - and everything that happened before is reinterpreted once again.
Visually stunning with a great soundtrack and very clever screenplay, this is definitely a film that needs to be watched a second time to fully grasp all the different layers hidden in the story.
