“100 Sunset” follows two young Tibetan women navigating friendship, disappearance, and a quiet economy of survival in Toronto’s Parkdale neighbourhood. Shot with non-professional actors and embedded in real community locations, the film offers a rare and intimate portrait of diasporic life.
Kunsel has recently settled in the Tibetan neighbourhood of Parkdale, Toronto. An introverted young woman, she spends her days observing the residents of her apartment complex, and occasionally stealing from them when the urge strikes. She becomes intrigued by a new tenant, Passang, and a friendship quickly develops between the two young women. Passang, who is trapped in an unfulfilling marriage to an older man, confides in Kunsel about her plan to escape. As their friendship deepens, Kunsel is drawn into a web of deception that forces her to confront her desires and morals.
Kunsang Kyirong establishes herself as one of Canadian cinema’s most exciting new filmmakers with her feature debut.
