Leon Le, whose debut Song Lang (NYAFF 2019 Audience Award Winner) marked him as one of Vietnam’s most elegant new filmmakers, returns with a hushed, beautifully composed chamber drama shot on 35mm. In 1985 Saigon, Khang, a young translator from a well-connected northern family, arrives to work on a new Vietnamese translation of The Little Prince. In his new building lives Ky Nam, a widowed cook from the defeated South, guarded, solitary, and marked by a history the new order would rather forget. When an injury leaves her unable to work, Khang begins helping her, a wary arrangement that deepens through meals, old songs, withheld confidences, and the charged quiet of rooms where the past is never quite past.
