In the underground coal mines, Nam and Viet, young miners, face danger and darkness. One prepares to leave for a new life, but they must find Nam’s father’s remains, a soldier lost in a faraway forest, retracing the past through memories.
“Absolutely hypnotic.”
– Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
“Assimilates queer romance, social realist drama, immigrant tragedy, identity, and personal and national histories through a psycho-geographic canvas of Vietnam, balancing documentary realism with poetic imagination.”
– Martin Kudlac, Screen Anarchy
“A brave, symbolic and sometimes astonishing expression of a nation’s torment.”
– James Mottram, South China Morning Post
“A richly personal blend of the authentic and the abstract.”
– John Berra, Screen International
