1941, Java Occidental. El amor y la revolución están en el aire. Y la guerra está en camino.
Poco antes de la invasión japonesa, la familia Van Hoorn organiza su famosa fiesta Sinterklaas en su plantación de té. Uno de sus invitados, Mattijs, un piloto holandés, espera forjar un futuro en las Indias Orientales Holandesas, posiblemente con la hija de la familia, Anna, pero está dividida entre sus sueños de Holanda y su deseo de pertenecer. Mientras tanto, el ama de llaves, Diah, observa atentamente los acontecimientos alrededor de la plantación, preguntándose cuánto decirle a su hermano luchador por la libertad. Cuando las fuerzas japonesas finalmente llegan a la puerta de Java, todos tienen que tomar decisiones que afectarán el resto de sus vidas, especialmente aquellos que deben evacuar a Australia.
Sunbirds representa la intrincada red de identidades y lealtades creadas por la guerra y el imperialismo, y los compromisos desgarradores que tan a menudo se producen.
