The preparations for the Christmas holidays turn into a nightmare for a mother of three children of whom she shares custody with her ex-husband.

On December 23, the holiday season is in full force and the destinies of strangers intertwine: a hardened bachelor wants to find love; a couple expect their first child; a singer returns to the stage after a break; a mother tries to organize the perfect Christmas; a teen carries a big secret; a man struggles with the modern world; and the new manager of a large hotel must prove her worth.

Allen Sunshine tells the story of a former music mogul who retreats to an isolated lakeside home to grieve his famous wife’s suicide. He copes by composing ambient-electronic music and nurturing an unexpected friendship with two young boys whom he meets on the lake fishing. Throughout the course of his stages of grief, Allen encounters characters that remind him of what he’s lost and forgotten and what he hopes to gain and reconcile.
