The Eternal Springtime

Mùa xuân vĩnh cửu

Việt Vũ | Vietnam | 2021 | 26' |

| IFFR 2021

In a landscape on the brink of extinction, a son and mother trek into a native cave to be revitalized. By just quietly sitting together in their humble shelter, a loving energy is shared through these two human beings’ naked bodies. This personal portrait cuts deep into the vulnerable present of an ex-colonised nation transiting into the digital age. Seen from a first-person perspective, the film also explores a new possibility of storytelling.
