In the Morning Sun
In a quiet Toronto apartment, an immigrant mother finds comfort in her Alexa—weather updates, love songs, and the time back home become a lifeline to the Philippines, reminding her of the family she left behind. In the Morning Sun is a gentle portrait of aging, migration, and memory. Inspired by the filmmaker’s desire to preserve the warmth of his parents, the film reflects on the quiet sacrifices of immigration and the rituals that keep love alive across distance. As his nieces and nephews begin to face their own life choices, their reflections echo the journey his mother once made, revealing the duality of her experience—the little girl she was, and the woman she became to survive.
