From the press release
100 Sunset follows two young Tibetan women navigating friendship, disappearance, and a quiet economy of survival. 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.
100 Sunset is the feature directorial debut of Tibetan-Canadian filmmaker Kunsang Kyirong. It premiered premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was the recipient of the Best Canadian Discovery Award - Honourable Mention
