“Sunshine” tells the story of a young gymnast whose career as part of the national team was put on hold after she discovered that she was pregnant.
Prior to the Far East Film Fest, the movie also had its screenings at the Palm Springs International Film Fest in California and at the Berlin International Film Festival where it bagged the Crystal Bear award.
