"Daybreak" by Alexander Fitchev
"Daybreak" is a subtle drama about group dynamics told with minimal dialog. It's well shot and the acting conveys an authenticity rare among films staring children, despite a certain amount of implausibility in the plot. I can only describe this film as a sort of suburban Lord of the Flies without the looming specter of death.
"In a wealthy Montreal suburb, Xavier and his friends are composing with pre-teen boredom. They hang out at the park, ride their bikes, mess with each other; it's yet another suburban summer afternoon. But beneath the smiles lies a growing tension, an certain violence which leads the group to a collective release of unexpected intensity; a ritualistic initiation into adolescence."
