Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes tells the story of a disruptive couple in a '60s gothic setting.

This summary does not even describe a small fraction of the sensation this film brings about: visual ecstasy, confusion and disorientation, but also a captivating experience you will not be able to recapitulate.
