They say, live in the now as much as you can. But the past returns regardless. Unwhole. Fragmented. Existing in pieces of experience.

The Synopsis

A woman tries to cling onto dimming links to her past after inheriting a pygmy slow loris from her long-estranged husband; meanwhile, her niece prepares for marriage as the young couple ponders their gloomy future together. The present and the complex echoes of Vietnamese history are entwined before a contemplative and poetic perspective.
