During a showing of “Daybreak” at Liberty Cinema, the film breaks its frame: actors step out of the screen, speak to each other and draw the audience into the story. The scene draws crowds, leaving police, emergency services and cinema staff puzzled. A censor, once a literary critic and journalist, arrives as line between fiction and reality blurs.
