When the Day Breaks
After witnessing the accidental death of a stranger, Ruby seeks affirmation in the city around her, and finds it in surprising places. With humour, When the Day Breaks illuminates the links which connect our urban lives, while evoking the promise and fragility of a new day. The directors use pencil and paint on photocopies to achieve a textured look suggestive of a lithograph or a flickering newsreel. In When the Day Breaks, the ordinary - a lemon, a toaster, a chance collision on a street corner - is endowed with a visceral power. When the Day Breaks received the Palme d'Or for a Short Film at the 1999 Cannes International Film Festival.
