1941, West Java. L'amore e la rivoluzione sono nell'aria. E la guerra sta arrivando.
Poco prima che i giapponesi invadano, la famiglia van Hoornorganizza la loro famosa festa di Sinterklaas nella loro piantagione di tè. Uno dei loro ospiti, Mattijs, un pilota olandese, spera di forgiare un futuro nelle Indie orientali olandesi, forse con la figlia della famiglia, Anna, ma è divisa tra i suoi sogni dell'Olanda e il suo desiderio di appartenenza. Nel frattempo la governante, Diah, osserva attentamente gli avvenimenti intorno alla piantagione, chiedendosi quanto dire al fratello combattente per la libertà. Quando finalmente le forze giapponesi arrivano alle porte di Giava, devono prendere decisioni che influenzeranno il resto della loro vita, specialmente quelle che devono evacuare in Australia.
Sunbirds descrive l'intricata rete di identità e lealtà create dalla guerra e dall'imperialismo, e i compromessi strazianti che così spesso ne derivano.
