THE SUNSHINE BOY (2026)

Navigating the shadowy edges of the city, teenage street hustler Ivan shares a precarious daily grind with his closest companion Efrem, both surviving through transactional encounters on the pavement. Their grim routine fractures when they accidentally uncover the violent aftermath of a peer’s murder. Where Efrem has grown numb to the chaos, treating the gruesome discovery as mundane backdrop, Ivan receives a stark wake-up call that sparks a burning need to abandon his perilous existence. Craving an exit strategy, he strikes up an alliance with a resourceful young woman named Mishka. She extends an offer for a grueling, high-intensity assignment that comes with serious financial rewards—one that could finally fund his permanent departure from the streets. This high-stakes opportunity sets the stage for a tense journey where survival hangs in the balance and every choice pushes closer to freedom or further into danger.
