Sunshine is the lyrical work of Hungarian filmmaker Istvan Szabo. He is one of Europe's most honored director. Szabo's Mephisto won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1981. Paramount Classics' Sunshine is an epic romantic tale about one family's secret passions, tragic betrayals, and unbreakable bonds over three generations. Set in filmmaker Istvan Szabo's native Hungary, the story of the Sonnenschein ("Sunshine") family's rise and fall unfolds against a backdrop of political turmoil and war, including the Holocaust and its aftermath. Ralph Fiennes performs three roles, while Rosemary Harris and Jennifer Ehle play the older and younger versions of the same character.
