Title: HERE COMES THE SUN
Logline: During the brutal 2020 Covid outbreak in New York, a frontline resident doctor and her husband must face love, deaths, fear and helplessness before her next 24-hour shift in the ‘Death Zone’.
Drama
The inspiration of Here Comes She Sun: My wife is an ICU resident doctor and worked in a ‘Death Zone’ hospital in The Bronx under the outbreak. I had to watch the love of my life fighting the virus without proper PPE or PCR tests, putting her life and our future on the line. I want the people to know the hidden, grim struggles of the healthcare workers between their dreadful shifts.
“After seeing my wife and her colleagues' heroic battle in the 'Death Zone' and being a part of their everyday efforts, I shockingly experienced how little people know about their deeds and struggles besides a few media cliché. As a feature film, 'HERE COMES THE SUN' gives voice to all of these healthcare heroes, also the exploited frontline resident doctors. That is why our film needs to be born.” —KRIS KASPAR | writer-director
Location: NEW YORK CITY
The Story takes place during the first and most brutal COVID outbreak in New York City. Dying people overwhelm the hospitals exceeding their capacity. Huge emergency tents are set up, not only around the Medical Centers but in Central Park and many other parts of the city.
Time: 2020 Easter
At this point, no one knows what this virus is capable of. There are not enough tests, no one knows any treatment, vaccinations are nowhere yet. Morgues are full, corpses are packed into refrigerator trucks with forklifts, many times in the streets.
THIS IS WAR. Doctors cannot cure people and have to watch them die under their hands. Patients are suffocating in sheer terror with no family around. No pause, no grief, no absolution.
Here Comes The Sun is a story of love, support and partnership. The time of pandemic is both the backdrop and the catalyst which enables our characters to become their true selves, under extreme circumstances. The pandemic is still on everyone's mind, and in everyone's day to day life. But our story, our love story which epitomizes what it means to completely accept your partner for who they really are, is not only universal...
IT'S TIMELESS.
