Kit can’t remember much of his native Vietnam. When he returns to the Land of the Golden Star for the first time in over thirty years, he takes in his local surroundings as any Western tourist would, and the environment is as exotic as the language is incomprehensible. The aim of Kit’s travels – to find a place to scatter his parents’ ashes – thus becomes part of a journey back to his roots and to the discovery of his identity, which external circumstances have rendered ambiguous and complex.

Not a lot happens on the surface, save the odd sexual encounter or two. But beneath the slight narrative, there are memories and moments of nostalgia that resonate deeply with the main character. Meaningful then, despite the condensed nature of the plot.

I think the film itself looks great. Vietnam is such a beautiful country. As far as the film, it feels a little flat. There's not much depth to the story; I wished they would've gone a little deeper.

[MostraFIRE!!] There are elements of interest in this film that talks about reunions with the past and new encounters in a Vietnam that is transformed as if it wanted to erase the traces of its past. Kit and Lewis share the scars of a trauma that has to do with repression and guilt. But there is a melancholy in the story that achieves a certain degree of placidity, but also of boring.
