Sunshine Acid

Leni and Rea spend their holiday in the Serbian countryside. Leni tries hard to reach out for the attention of her friend Rea and convinces her to trip on LSD. Rea is opening up. The sun burns bright. But soon Leni will need to face her lack of prudence with fullest hardship.

Directed by Gitti Grüter, Sunshine Acid leans on a strong ensemble — Vera Flück, Maria Vollmann — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2021.
