92 Mins | Diễm Hà LệWINNER · BEST DIRECTOR · IDFA
In a village hidden in the mist-shrouded Northwest Vietnamese mountains resides an indigenous Hmong community, home to 12-year-old Di, part of the first generation of her people with access to formal education. A feisty, free-spirited teen, Di is indifferent about her community’s tradition of kidnapping into child marriage. But when Lunar New Year approaches, Di is kidnapped by scooter-riding local boy Vang and swiftly disappears into the night.
Vietnamese filmmaker Diễm Hà Lệ, who planted herself within Di's family over the course of three years, creates a bold and curious portrait of a community on the cusp between tradition and modernity, and a vulnerable girl on the precipice of her destiny.
Hmong, Vietnamese with English subtitles
