A Bright Sun

View on the Pragda STREAM site

Eleven-year-old Mila and her family face the final days before an imminent apocalypse, as a meteor hurtles toward Earth, leaving no hope of survival. Isolated in a countryside house and struggling to grasp the concept of death, Mila seeks solace in keeping her family united, choosing to organize a party on the last day of life on Earth. As the celebration approaches, it becomes much more than a simple gathering, symbolizing resistance against despair and the inexorable passing of time.

Drawing comparisons to Melancholia by Lars von Trier and 4:44 by Abel Ferrara, A Bright Sun offers a luminous, distinctly feminine meditation on impending doom, balancing youthful hope with the complexity of existential loss.
