The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2

Bella wakes up a vampire, masters her thirst fast and meets her daughter, Renesmee, who's growing at an alarming rate. She's furious to learn Jacob has imprinted. Irina glimpses Renesmee and mistakes her for an immortal child, a crime the Volturi punish with death. Alice sees the Volturi coming and disappears, and the Cullens gather vampires from around the world as witnesses. Bella learns her mental shield can protect others. On the snowy field, Aro sees the truth, but the Volturi execute Irina and Aro pushes for a fight. Alice shows him a vision of the battle, with heavy losses on both sides, and brings in Nahuel, a grown, harmless half-vampire. The Volturi leave. In the meadow, Bella shows Edward all their memories together.
