La película recrea el incendio que sufrió la Catedral de Notre-Dame de París en abril de 2019. El virulento incendio provocó que su emblemática aguja, construida entre los siglos XII y XIV, y el tejado de la catedral gótica de la capital francesa colapsaran y tan solo una hora después de declararse el incendio se derrumbaran. La primera piedra de la catedral se colocó en 1163 y desde que terminó su construcción Notre Dame ha sido símbolo del catolicismo, del skyline parisino y uno de los monumentos más visitados del mundo con alrededor de 13 millones de visitantes al año.

Marie Colvin (Rosamund Pike) fue una periodista reconocida mundialmente por su trabajo en distintos conflictos bélicos. Testigo de algunas cruentas batallas recientes, especialmente de lo sucedido en Oriente Medio, Colvin contaba con el respeto tanto de los lectores como de sus compañeros de profesión por su enorme valentía y humildad. Sin embargo, su personalidad era caótica y autodestructiva: abusaba del alcohol y su vida personal era, un auténtico desastre. Tras recibir el impacto de una granada en Sri Lanka, comienza a llevar un distintivo parche en el ojo mientras se sienta a tomar martinis rodeada de la alta sociedad londinense a la que tanto aborrece, hasta que un día recibe el más peligroso de todos los encargos, que acepta junto a su también prestigioso fotógrafo de guerra, Paul Conroy (Jamie Dornan). Juntos viajan a Siria para cubrir lo que sucede en la ciudad de Homs, donde aprenderá el verdadero coste de la guerra, tanto física como psicológicamente.

The Sunshine is about a young refugee (Armstrong) who flees from the war-torn northern Sri Lanka and embarks on a perilous journey through India, Nepal, Thailand towards an uncertain destination, leaving his childhood sweetheart on the shores that foam blood. The film looks back at the perils faced by Armstrong, a Sri Lankan Tamil, along with his epic odyssey from conflict and violence-ridden homeland, towards far corners of the world risking death, detention and deportation over the lands and seas. The Sunshine will explore the ultimate universal question how and why people get prepared to risk everything. The movie will tell the story of human struggle and not just merely make a political statement. Director Leena Manimekalai says, The Sunshine is unique and personal because it has the autobiographical touch of her friend and writer Shobasakthi.
