Sunny’s Gifts and Things

90 min

3W, 2M

Welcome to Sunny’s Gifts and Things! It’s 1982 in Waikiki, and while Hurricane Iwa rages outside, Nobu and Ana, longtime shopkeepers are joined by Greg and Samantha—a mismatched couple on a doomed first vacation—and Vincent, a mysterious stranger with a deeper connection than anyone expected. Part family farce, part cultural reckoning, Sunny’s Gifts and Things is a comedy about what we carry, what we inherit, and what it means to find shelter in a storm (even if you have to duct-tape the windows shut yourself).
