Description:

Moonless Dawn is a poignant debut feature exploring the challenging lives of three junior high school students navigating difficult personal circumstances. Kou drifts through life, lacking purpose or direction, struggling to find his footing. Yuka copes with her inner emptiness by engaging in risky encounters with strangers she meets on the street. Meanwhile, Saki finds herself trapped amidst endless parental disputes, leaving her feeling unsettled and uncomfortable both at home and school.

For Yuka and Saki, their favorite artist's music offers a much-needed sanctuary, providing an immersive escape from their everyday struggles. However, their beloved refuge is abruptly removed when the music is all taken offline. Stripped of their comforting soundtrack, the girls embark on an unexpected journey to find the producer. This quest leads them to confront deeper realities and discover profound meaning beyond the melodies. Inspired by the music of LOWPOPLTD, Harika Abes' film beautifully contrasts youthful innocence with life's disparate truths, delivering a moody, quiet, and dreamy narrative.
