Moving is never easy and moving to a whole new country can seem nearly impossible. A fish-out-of-water family drama, A Different Sun finds a Chinese family struggling to fit in with their new German homeland. It isn't long before their troubles are more than just culture clash, and marriage problems, school troubles, as well as threats of lawsuits soon make it seem all hope is lost. Can the family hold strong and ride out the hardships? Can love and friendship transcend the bad times? (Cinequest Festival)
