It was in January when it was announced that Sunshine will be competing under the Generation 14plus Competition of Berlinale.

According to a press release, Generation 14plus is a program in Berlinale that features the stories of children and teenagers. "Also known as 'coming-of-age,' the stories feature perspectives from young protagonists from around the world, highlighting the equally complex worlds of the youth."

According to its IMDb page, Sunshine follows the story of "a young gymnast who discovers she is pregnant on the week of the national team tryouts. On her way to a seller of illegal abortion drugs, she meets a mysterious girl who eerily talks and thinks like her."
