My Sunshine - Queer Cinema x Camera Japan

Hiroshi Okuyama

This edition will be hosted by CAMERA JAPAN Festival, a multidisciplinary Japanese arts and culture festival held annually at LantarenVenster. For this screening, we’ll be watching My Sunshine.

My Sunshine

On a small Japanese island, life revolves around the changing seasons. In winter, ice hockey takes center stage—much to Takuya’s dismay. His heart lies elsewhere, captivated by Sakura, a talented young figure skater with big ambitions. When former champion and coach Arakawa recognizes Takuya’s hidden talent, he takes him under his wing, pairing him with Sakura for training. As the cold months linger, a harmonious bond forms between the two skaters. But even the first snow eventually melts away…
