1. Photos and Script Excerpts
Rise of Dawn

2. Truth is stranger than fiction. Real life is far more fascinating!
It happened on a beautiful summer night when all seemed so perfect that you wished it
would never end. We were young, too young, and too happy in the short time of our
freedom. Our minds were overwhelmed with ideas, which I now consider more illusion
than reality. It was the best time of my life, until that one fateful night. It only took a blink
of an eye to wake up from my happy dream-world and face the cruel reality that echoed
with the sound of a crying country. We fought and we failed.
The author of Rise of Dawn brings back memories for millions of people and reveals her
life in two different, dramatic locations in the world. Her tale is filled with love and hate,
fear and heroism, desperation and optimism, and a host of other conflicting emotions
and events. However, we the people of the world are as is this story, and its historical
context that shook the entire planet but a few decades ago. It must be remembered, of
course, that it is well-known how movies with historical themes can deeply affect public
perception of the past. But this is only the beginning of our story Rise of Dawn. This
motion picture projects the profound love between a stage actress and hockey player
and how their lives intersect in two contrasting regimes and worlds of existence. Rise of
Dawn is a Political Love Story that will last forever just as the film classics “Casablanca”
and “The Way We Were” now do.
Rise of Dawn is waiting for a savvy investor who sees its commercial viability and box
office appeal, and for the skillful director who can’t wait to bring this unforgettable epic
story into successful cinematic production.

3. You are a miracle. Only God could have sent you to me from the other side of the world.
I miss everything over there, even the tree I used to sit in and collect bugs.
Memories can drive you insane. Let it be, my darling.
The Beatles’ song “Let It Be” fades in. His hands gently move through her shoulders as he
takes her to dance. It is a dance of passion
New York

4. Looking skyward: Was it you who brought me here? One moment I am fighting
for freedom of my countrymen and the next moment I am in a far land across
the ocean. Why didn’t you make me strong enough to overcome fear?

5. We can’t go back! The amnesty is a trap and the totalitarian system cruel.
So are you. Your mother cries her heart out for you, my brother is desperate and my beloved friend
suicidal. They need us.
God! How I wish we were born here.
Enraged, he suddenly jumps into the pool covered with fallen leaves.

6. Who sent you… How much they paid you.
My dear Bob and Bridget. Please forgive me the five years of silence. I wrote you hundred letters but
send none. The censorship is strict and contact with the west dangerous. We were silenced with the
first step on our motherland, and although years had passed, nothing has changed.

7. The opera is on and continues through the scene. Her beloved friend is illuminated by moonlight. She
slowly ties a rope to the window handle and then around her neck. The music reaches its climax.
Nooo! I wasn’t good enough to rescue you from the peace in eternity you had so longed for.

8. Snow falling past the medieval astronomical clock as the 12 apostles cross the window.
That's it. Another old year has passed away. Just as fearful as the previous ones.
But the newborn is strong, bold, auspicious, cherishing...
His voice fails. With utter sorrow he glides his hand through her face.
The moment of silence is broken by a group of young people singing the famous song of that time "Rock
Around the Clock". Amidst the ancient buildings and magnificent churches they dance the wild rock n roll
until they descend into the heavily falling snow.

9. What a glorious city. Once a great source of inspiration to the poets and composers is now in the
grip of evil. Look! Doves. Strange. I haven't seen a dove for years until two days ago at the
border. Do you recall them?
No. All I remember is the guns.
Suddenly an aura of utter fear falls over her.
Oh God! I can't lose you. Neither of you. I will not survive.

10. I love you so much.
And I love the bravery in your soul. Now I have to find mine.
You find it in love. As long as we love each other we are strong.
Alone we stand, together we fight.
Each of them moves their hands over the other, moving slowly, as if they were
trying to touch the other's entire body at once.
All the energy is transmitted through their hands.

11. "Dear people of this country, dear friends. Regardless of what is going to happen the next moment,
remember that we are a family. That we love each other and only with love we can be strong. Do not
listen to any other voice. Do not listen to any false statements and promises..."
