A daughter films her goodbye to everything — including the father she's not sure can hear her.
The Vietnamese German Huong, equipped with her small video camera, documents her life before moving out, exploring her relationships with friends, family, places and objects that she leaves behind. A poetic snapshot of her person, addressed to her father.
Cinematography
Small-gauge intimacy — the camera as confidant, not observer.
Writing
Dialogue that lives in what's avoided, not spoken.
Director
Hoang Quynh Nguyen
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Vietnamese-German cinema rarely centers second-generation women's authorship; this film treats the camera as inherited trauma and resistance in one device.
Director Hoang Quynh Nguyen worked with non-professional actors from her own community; Nhung Hong's 'performance' blurs documentary and fiction so thoroughly the distinction becomes the point.
