An abandoned package is discovered in the Paris Metro: the subway
workers suspect it's a terrorist bomb. A Vietnamese woman sitting
nearby, her son asleep on her shoulder, waits and begins to reflect
on her life, from her constrained childhood in communist Hanoi, to
a long period of study in Leningrad during the Gorbachev period,
and finally to the Parisian suburbs where she now teaches English.
Through everything runs her passion for Thuy, the father of her
son, a writer who lives in Saigon's Chinatown, and who, with the
shadow of the China-Vietnam border war falling darkly between them,
she has not seen for eleven years. Through her breathless,
vertiginous, and deeply moving monologue from beside the subway
tracks, the narrator attempts to once and for all face the past and
exorcize the passion that haunts her.
