Synopsis
Three years after the Communist takeover of Vietnam, a Japanese photojournalist travels to Vietnam to document the country's seemingly triumphant rebirth. When he befriends a teenage girl and her destitute family, however, he begins to discover what the government doesn't want him to see: the brutal, often shocking reality of life in a country where political repression and poverty have forced many to resort to desperate measures in order to survive.
