Sunkissed Sky
Drama, 2022
A Korean-American golden child grapples with the ramifications of falling short of expectations.
Sunkissed Sky is a film that attempts to capture the essence of what it is to live a life driven by achievements, expectations, and acceptance. Henry Haneul Yoon lives a life defined by a merit-based checklist rather than one driven by dreams. When faced with a discrepancy in what is expected of him and what he desires, the individual hopes of the family become fantasies. In this film, Henry reflects on the circumstances that lead him to this point.
