Leading Filipina director Antoinette Jadaone (AAAFF 2021 award-winner Fan Girl) returns with another gripping tale of youth in turmoil. Winner of the Crystal Bear for Best Film from the Berlin Film Festival Youth Jury, Sunshine opens with the eponymous gymnast (Maris Racal) seemingly on the verge of realizing her Olympic dreams, only to make an unwelcome discovery: she's pregnant by her callow boyfriend Miggy (Elijah Canlas), in a country where abortion is constitutionally banned. Sunshine trawls Manila's underbelly for dubious remedies, besieged by mixed messages that compound her inner confusion—and occasionally joined by a mysterious child of unknown origin and ambiguous purpose.
