Synopsis
Kien (17) arrives after 10 years from Vietnam to join his family at a market on the Czech-German border. Father Zung and the rest of the family try to connect with Kien, but they are faced with deep-seated trauma from the past. Meanwhile, Zung takes on an ethically problematic job from his brother-in-law Phong, the market owner. To financially support his family, he must betray his friends. During a market celebration, Zung’s youngest son Tai is injured under unclear circumstances. Mother Lan investigates what happened and in the process, unexpected aspects of Kien’s presence in the community surface, where the Vietnamese boy is paradoxically the biggest stranger. The story is told through the eyes of father Zung, younger son Tai and elder son Kien.
