COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A very visual film submitted by ccrose on August 14, 2019, 5:18pm Set in. Viet Nam, it has no connection the war, main thing Americans associate w the name. It’s a subtle love story, a girl that was taken in to be a servant for families. She pays attention to the detail of making a house a calm home. She works for a composer, modern in style, dates a loud flashy Japanese girl who’s aim is to climb the ladder toward a rich husband. The girl, by contrast, thinks of comfort in cooking,.
