Vietnam | 2021 | Australasia Premiere | 92 min | Vietnamese | Le Diem Ha
In the misty mountains of North Vietnam, 21st century feminism clashes with tradition.
Di is a 12-year-old girl living in a village lost in Northwest Vietnam mountains. She belongs to the Hmong ethnic minority where women get married very young, enduring the controversial tradition of “bride-kidnapping”.
While Di is fortunate enough to belong to the first generation in her community and given the opportunity to attend high school, she yearns to rebel against the expectation to marry young.
When Di enters puberty, her personality changes drastically. The carefree little girl has turned into an impetuous, hypersensitive teenager constantly arguing with her mother who is trying to keep her away from reckless relationships that she is not mature enough to handle.
On the Lunar New Year's Eve, when Di's parents come back home after celebrating, the house is silent: Di has disappeared. This moment may signify the end of her childhood and the beginning of womanhood.
Director Ha Le Diem’s first feature length film examines the battle between the ancient customs and modern values.
Winner Perception Change Award Vision Du Reel 2022.
