About the film

A teenage boy returns to his family after years apart, scarred from being sent to Vietnam while his younger brother stayed in Czechia. After reunion, he faces a distant father, a mother desperate to mend the past, and a brother uneasy about sharing the spotlight. One chaotic summer pushes them to their limits when the younger brother falls from a roof. Between misunderstandings and clumsy family dynamics, they learn that sometimes, healing begins by letting the cracks show.

After ten years in Vietnam, 17-year-old Kien returns to his family in a Czech border town, where coming home isn't simple. Dužan Duong's Czech-Vietnamese drama follows one chaotic summer as they learn to live together again.
