Kunsel is a young woman of Tibetan descent who has only recently arrived in Canada. She is silent, introverted, yet alert. She lives in an apartment building, in a thoroughly Tibetan community, and observes people through her video camera – which isn’t even hers. Kunsel also steals other things, such as a precious piece of jewelry from a neighbor. And Kunsel befriends Passang, who has also recently moved there and is stuck in a marriage to a much older man. Fate takes a new turn when Kunsel steals from the husband. Nothing is fleeting, but everything is a deception.

Kunsang Kyirong
Kunsang Kyirong (born 1991) is a Canadian filmmaker and artist who grew up in the Tibetan diaspora in Vancouver. Drawing on this perspective, she weaves personal experiences, observations, and stories into fictional narratives. She is interested in the dynamics of coexistence and the glimpses of identity that emerge in everyday moments. In 2021, the director herself moved to Parkdale near Toronto to become part of Canada’s largest Tibetan community, where 100 SUNSET, her feature film debut, was shot.
