Program Note
A typical married couple who have spent a long, long together. The wife nitpicks at her husband for drinking too much beer, and he tells her off for gaining weight. Due to a lack of economic affluence, a moneylender visits their home and a contents certificate top sheet is received by post. However, they feel strongly attached to the house they bought after working hard to save money since the time tigers roamed the country before the Tet Offensive. Their only son is grown and lives far away from home. The home city of this family eventually submerged due to climate change caused by human greed’s breakage of Mother Nature. The son talks about the disappearance of things through his consciousness, which roams the present, misses the future and hasn’t yet developed longing feelings for the past.
Truong Ming Quy is a young director whose talent is being recognized for his various short films and documentary films. His first feature length film is a genuine experiment, mixing elements from both documentary and fiction of himself and his own family. Through the study figuring out the role of cinema as a medium to capture time and space, he deals with the value in life, freely moving through the past, present and future as well as virtuality and imagination.
