Plot
"Sunrise" delves into the depths of the human soul, where traditional notions of good and evil dissolve into the infinite diversity of subjective perception. The film tells the story of a young girl, Iris, who grew up in a 20th-century Estonian Christian family. Driven by a thirst for love and a longing for material beauty, she commits a minor crime that becomes the catalyst for an internal struggle and a reevaluation of her former moral principles. This act inevitably leads to a profound conflict: as she reflects on everything she knew about Christianity, God, and morality, a question arises… What place do her desires hold within the dogmatic frameworks she once accepted? The second important character, a boy named Knut, grew up in a troubled family under the tyranny of a cruel father. Yet, despite retaining love for his mother, he is tormented by emotions accumulated from years of endured brutality. Upon encountering Iris’s impoverished family, he finds a way to release his anger…
