Trailer
Nam and Viet love each other. Both are miners, working 1000 meters below ground where danger awaits and darkness prevails. Coal earns them a living, while polluting the land and the sea. When Nam decides to leave the country via an agent who smuggles people in shipping containers, it causes a rift between his love for Viet and the desires for his own future. Un Certain Regard Cannes 2024.

Born in Vietnam, the filmmaker lives and works in the vibrancy of memories and the present moment. Creating images that lie between documentary and fiction, the personal and the impersonal, he uses the landscape of his homeland, childhood memories, and the historical context of Vietnam. His second feature film, The Tree House (2019), premiered in Locarno Film Festival. His French language short, Les Attendants (2021), competed for the Berlinale Golden Bear.
