If you want to tell the truth, honesty is not enough.

Olga is a successful, workaholic lawyer from Vienna. Maria, her elderly mother, unexpectedly falls into a coma. While Maria is hovering between life and death, Olga comes across a deliberately withheld secret, that makes her question her whole life. She begins to search for answers, but her mother has done everything she could to avoid the truth being revealed. The increasingly passionate investigation takes her back to the war-torn Europe of the 50s; where, at the end of her journey she discovers herself: a woman she never knew before.

“The director governs firmly the basic inventory of a controlled melodrama employed for the benefit of the plot, that eventually drives the audience engagement and investment in the story.” – Screen Anarchy

“It’s a GORGEOUS film. Meszaros knows how to lens and produce period better than most, so while it’s tough subject matter, it is a feast for the eyes.” – The No Spoiler Critic

“’Aurora Borealis’ is a very good motion picture and we can forgive it for a touch of soap opera that comes at the end… indeed, even there, it is not corny, an incredible twist is actually fitting in here.” – Notes About Films
