100 SUNSET

Teenaged introvert Kunsel (Tenzin Kunsel) lives in a Toronto apartment complex with her aunt and uncle, keeping insistently aloof from them and the rest of the local Tibetan community—which she prefers to surreptitiously view through a camcorder, scored in one of her many compulsive thefts. But Passang (Sonam Choekyi), a new arrival accompanied by her much older husband (Lobsang Tenzin), exercises a special fascination for Kunsel. The two young women bond and Kunsel is drawn ever deeper into the morass of Passang's life, including her troubled marriage and a risky scheme that might at last force Kunsel off the sidelines. An acutely-observed feature debut, 100 SUNSET looks past surveillance-thriller tropes towards an uncommon hybrid of social and psychological portraiture, grounded in concrete detail and lifted by free-floating suspense.
