This film felt really special the first time I watched it. It was recommended while we were curating for Star Nhà Ease 2024, and it honestly hit me hard. It’s one of those stories that makes you stop, that made me think about my own family, my history, and all the unspoken conversations between those who stayed and those who left.

Beyond the story, it’s so beautifully animated. You really flow with the visual style, it’s delicate, expressive, and unlike anything I’d seen before. I don’t even think I have the right words to do it justice. It just felt important to programme. Honest. Emotional. Reflective. Truly poetic on so many levels.
