PA VA HÊNG
DUST OF MODERN LIFE
A film by
Franziska Von Stenglin
Once a year, Liem, a young man from an ethnic minority in Vietnam, leaves his ordinary life behind and retreats to the jungle with his friends.
During his ’time out’, he tries to maintain an ancient tradition that is threatening to disappear, as is the forest it takes place in.
