A young woman, torn between two cultures, belonging to
neither. A family, torn apart by a war they had no choice
about. Thirty-year-old Kiều, who calls herself Kim because it’s
easier for Europeans to pronounce, was born in Berlin and knows
little about her Vietnamese family’s history. Then she receives a
Facebook message from her estranged Uncle Sơn in America, telling
her that her grandmother, her father’s mother, is dying. The two
brothers haven’t spoken since the end of the Vietnam War. Minh,
Kiều’s father, supported the communists, while Sơn sided with
the Americans. When Kiều and her parents travel to America to
join the rest of the family in California for the funeral,
questions relating to their past — to what has been suppressed
— resurface and demand to be addressed.
