In this film direct­ed by Wendy Til­by and Aman­da For­bis, “Ruby the pig seeks affir­ma­tion in the city around her after wit­ness­ing the acci­den­tal death of a stranger… and finds it in sur­pris­ing places. With deft humour and fine­ly ren­dered detail, When the Day Breaks illu­mi­nates the links that con­nect our urban lives, while evok­ing the promise and fragili­ty of a new day.” Thanks Vic­to­ria for this nine min­utes of good­ness!
