SUNSHINE GIRLS follows the story of Elaine Hamilton, a timid woman nearing her 30th birthday who must make the difficult choice between motherhood and medically induced photosynthesis.
After prolonged environmental destruction, the world is experiencing a dangerous shortage of oxygen. Science has created a solution to this problem: a “minimally invasive” medical procedure that allows women’s reproductive systems to host photosynthesis and cellular respiration, enabling them to give birth to air itself.
For the first time in her life, amongst the ragtag troupe of oxygen-producing misfits called the Sunshine Girls, Elaine finally begins to grow into the woman she has always wanted to become. Her life finally has direction and purpose - what could be more beautiful than breathing life into the world?
Darkly comedic and endlessly absurd, SUNSHINE GIRLS is an eccentric and thrilling exploration of womanhood, community, and mother nature.
