Jancsó and Léotard during filming in Israel

Dawn (French: L'Aube, Hungarian: A hajnal) is a 1985 French-Israeli drama film directed by Miklós Jancsó. It was entered into the 36th Berlin International Film Festival. The film was a French-Israeli co-production, and the French Ministry of Culture co-financed the production.[1]

Plot[edit]

Starring the British Michael York and Philip Lautard of France. "Dawn" takes place during the British Mandatory Palestine, in 1947. The story follows one night in the life of a young man, a Jewish Holocaust survivor named Elisha, who was guarding a British prisoner during that night, in order to execute him at dawn. This, in retaliation for the killing of members of the Jewish underground. The story is based on The Sergeants affair, the abduction of two British Sergeants by the Irgun and their hanging in a grove in Netanya.
