Gorgeously lensed, WHITE SUN sensitively explores the damage done to the fabric of Nepalese society by the decade-long civil war between the Maoists and Nepal’s monarchical government. On the occasion of his father's funeral, Chandra returns to the village he left years earlier to join the Maoists, and finds himself revisiting frayed family relations and unspoken divisions among neighbors.
Past traumas return and cause tensions to boil over. Finding the political within the everyday, WHITE SUN uses one village's complex tribulations to speak to an entire national history.
