A house in southern Vietnam holds memories of the family that once lived there, but has since been sundered by the Vietnam War. As if the spirits of the dead have been summoned, this family split between Germany and Vietnam is reunited, gathering fragments of the missing from old letters and photos.
In this fragmented, elliptical documentary on a Vietnamese family, Philip Widmann and Nguyễn Phương-Đan adopt a hypnotic pace alongside deliberate camerawork to unearth an intricate family story. A quiet look at life’s transience, its poignant daily rituals, and the lingering specters of history.
