Synopsis

In this noir-ish drama – a prize-winner at Toronto – a young thief strikes up an unlikely relationship with a mysterious woman in a Tibetan neighbourhood in Toronto.

New to the neighbourhood of Parkdale, introverted Kunsel observes the residents of her apartment complex, 100 Sunset, and occasionally steals from them. She becomes intrigued by Passang, a newly arrived neighbour unhappily married to a much older man, and the two women connect. The backdrop is 'Dukuti', an informal community credit system where members contribute an amount each month with one household taking the collective pot. This windfall tempts Passang to explore a route of escape. An assured debut feature, 100 Sunset builds a detailed world in which non-professional actors paint a vibrant portrait of a Tibetan community far removed from their land but deeply entrenched in their customs and traditions.

At once precise and suggestive, 100 Sunset vibrates on dual frequencies of intimacy and unease that make it one of the most accomplished Canadian debuts in recent memory.
