New York Premiere

Broken Dawn

An elderly substitute driver works through the quiet hours before dawn, transporting strangers across the city. As she encounters indifference, loneliness, and fleeting moments of kindness, she searches for human connection beneath the blinking yellow lights of Seoul. Broken Dawn is a moving portrait of dignity, resilience, and the quiet determination to keep moving forward despite life's uncertainties.
