Kunsel has recently settled in the Tibetan neighborhood of Parkdale, Toronto. 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.“100 Sunset” follows two young Tibetan women navigating friendship, disappearance, and a quiet economy of survival in Toronto’s Parkdale neighborhood. Shot with non-professional actors and embedded in real community locations, the film offers a rare and intimate portrait of diasporic life.
