Miracles become reality in Riga, especially if a lonely soul craves it at Christmas Eve. The same way, “The Aunties” film characters’ lives - full of loneliness, search and anxiety, are changed by sudden appearance of the three aunties, that are actually angels – Vera (Faith), Nadya (Hope), Lyba (Love). At the Christmas Eve morning the Aunties appear in Riga at the old painter’s doorstep and bring a whole swirl of action. For one day the aunties accomplish more than a lot. A lonely, desperate pensioner, who was close to death, unexpectedly finds a family, starts to do sports and even to travel. His granddaughter Masha, who was nearly fooled by a Latvian gold-digger, find her true love (Nikolay Efremov). An Arab sheikh, who got lost in snowy fields and who nearly was deceived by the criminals (Ivars Kalnins and Nikita Efremov), finally closes a successful deal and falls in love with a fiery red hair beauty – “the queen of suburbs”, as she notices herself - Lylka. Some romantic adventures are expected for some other characters, as well – for a perfect institute concierge (Mirdza Martinsone), for a plumber Fyodor (Kamil Larin), for mandarin seller (Mikhail Efremov), who also, somehow, become a part of this small, intelligent family’s story. This is the story about Miracle, which can be met by each of us on Riga narrow streets. Kind humor, dynamic optimism and an excellent performance of the actors will create the mood for the New Year’s Eve, and moreover, will give a charge of a positive energy for the whole year. Finally, after the 15 years long period of silence – the music for the film was wrote the fabulous maestro Raimonds Pauls.

The film is based on true events that took place in the vicinity of Līvāni in 1945 after the return of the Soviet occupation. The Catholic priest Antons Juhņevičs served in the Vanagi parish, and he hid local men in the household premises of the church to let them escape from the mobilisation in the Red Army. Having found himself to be in conflict with the ruling power due to his conviction, he was forced to decide on a radical step. The film "Alias Loner" is a documentary based on historic facts; however, the scene-setting dramatic events are just a reason to talk about the existential choices of a human life. Faithfulness and heroism so closely followed by betrayal and cowardice, or a simple wish to survive – all of this is present in the fates of Antons Juhņevičs and his companions-in-arms. This is the debut film of the film director and script writer Normunds Pucis. The historic persons are played by the actors Varis Piņķis, Vilis Daudziņš, Edgars Samītis, Andris Bulis, Juris Bartkevičs, Juris Jope, Edgars Pujāts, Rihards Rudāks, Māris Korsietis, Egils Viļumovs, Ritvars Gailums, and Valdemārs Karpačs. The film music is written by the internationally acknowledged Latvian composer of sacred music Rihards Dubra.

The film DAWN heralds a morally confused world in the recent past – the Soviet era, when adults and children alike lost their bearings in the name of so-called ideals. Son betrayed father; father betrayed son. Unfortunately DAWN is not only about the past, as the desire of totalitarian regimes to turn people into dull cogs-in-machines seems eternal – limited neither by time nor space.
