Aurora

How do you find your way home when all bridges have been burned?

SYNOPSIS

Aurora, the daughter of a religious leader, travels with her husband Joonas to celebrate their wedding anniversary with their parents. At the same time, her ex-lover Lenny tries to contact her, which does not go unnoticed by Joonas.

The anniversary celebration turns into a spectacle glorifying family values, as Aurora’s father, Valdek, seeks to create an image of the ideal family model for his followers.

In parallel, a second timeline unfolds — the love story of Aurora and Lenny from a year earlier, in which Lenny draws Aurora into his twisted world. When Aurora discovers that Lenny has other lovers, she ends their affair.

One afternoon, while Aurora’s family is gathered together, Lenny appears and causes a scandal. The affair comes to light. Aurora breaks down and turns to her father for help. Her religious father manipulates her into returning to her old life and seizes control over her choices and relationships.

Back at the wedding anniversary celebration, the event proceeds according to script until Lenny’s ex-girlfriend, Mia, arrives unexpectedly with news of an accident involving Lenny. Shocked, Aurora rushes to the hospital, where Lenny, having fallen from a church steeple, lies unconscious.

After Lenny’s death, Joonas confesses that both his father and Aurora’s father were involved in the incident that led to it. Secrets surface, cracking the carefully maintained façade of a harmonious family. Aurora decides to fight back, turning her father’s “ideal family” into a public exposure of the oppressive regime Valdek has created.
