A coming of age story set in the Vietnamese countryside during the late 1980s, as told through the eyes of a 12-year-old boy named Thieu. Thieu and his younger brother Tuong share and do everything together. Tuong idolizes his older brother's confidence and constantly strives for his approval. But in fact, Thieu's "over-confidence" is to compensate for his overwhelming insecurities. Thieu is constantly jealous of his younger brother when it comes to grades, talent and affection from the girl next door, Moon. This leads to an act of violence which leaves Tuong paralyzed and bedridden. In coming to terms with his own conscience, Thieu attempts to redeem himself and discovers the true meaning of brotherhood. (Zlín Film Festival)

I finally came across a truly beautiful Vietnamese movie. At the same time, it is very modest and quiet and lets the children, and especially the camera, which offers beautiful shots that take your breath away, speak for themselves. It proves that Vietnam is a beautiful country, but one extremely difficult to live in. However, it is through the children that it tells a very simple story that is more of a way of life than an attempt at a deeper analysis of the environment. If you accept all of that, you will surely enjoy the movie. But count on your heart rate going down during the movie. If you accept the form, you have to be satisfied. I have to admit that Vietnam really surprised me with this movie.
