Set in southern Vietnam, this powerful coming-of-age tale is a richly textured reflection on the rhythms of daily life. The flooded landscape serves as backdrop for the mythic story of a relationship between a father and son, the cycles of life, and the inescapable flow of all things. (MOMA)

Marta B. gave it a9:
A story filled with quiet power, beautifully shot and acted. The images lingered in my mind long after the film ended. Despite the tiny budget, the execution of the film is so assured, it's hard to believe that this is the director's first film. Hope to see more from him.
Tony T. gave it a9:
This is a best Vietnamese I ever saw. This have brought me back to my country, my youth and it seems like I have found something I had lost for a long time.
Maximilien H. gave it an8:
The person who did the English subtitle should be fired. The most important sentence at the end that sums up the entire story was wrongly translated.
Peggy G. gave it a7:
This movie was excellently done for a first movie for the director/screenwriter. it was'nt boring like most foreign films.
