In Person / Minh Nguyen-Vo and Bao Nguyen
(Nuoc)
From acclaimed writer and director Minh Nguyen-Vo (Buffalo Boy) comes the haunting, dystopian 2030. Part love story and part mystery, the film portrays a not-so-distant future where global warming has caused sea levels to rise, engulfing much of lowland Vietnam. We follow the strong-willed protagonist, Sao, on her quest to find out how her husband died. She suspects that his killer may work at a floating farm, the only way to grow vegetables in a half-submerged country. Cinematographer Bao Nguyen evokes a beautiful and eerie world, where the truth is as murky as the water.
• Written by Minh. Photographed by Bao Nguyen. With Quynh Hoa, Quy Binh, Kim Long Thach, Hoang Tran Minh Duc.
(98 mins, In Vietnamese with English subtitles, Color, DCP)
