VIET AND NAM

Synopsis

Note d'intention

I’ve always wondered about the ways in which an individual could intimately be connected to history, even without being aware of it. I imagine a young man living through uncanny events; like a fish, he swims in the currents of history, where past, present and future have merged into one — this is the premise of this film, Viêt and Nam. I envision Viêt and Nam as a film about the intimate connections between an individual and an unresolved history, between reality and its reverberation: hope, between genders-homosexuality, here and there… This film is my personal response to the ambiguous history of the country. In its essence, Viêt and Nam is a love story — a love story haunted by the ghost of (the) History.
