My Sunshine (Japanese: ぼくのお日さま, Boku no Ohisama) is a 2024 Japanese coming-of-age sports drama film written and directed by Hiroshi Okuyama.[2]

Release

The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard program at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival,[6] where it was named as a nominee for the Queer Palm.[7]

It was also invited at the 29th Busan International Film Festival in 'Special program in focus' Teenage Minds, Teenage Movies section and it will be screened in October 2024.[8]
