In the 1980s, Vietnam is still picking up the pieces after a devastating war. Khang is a young translator who has come to Saigon to translate The Little Prince. At his new home, he meets Ky Nam, an older widow who lives downstairs. Over time, they form a connection that may even blossom into love.  

Channeling the likes of Wong Kar-wai, Leon Le’s quietly lyrical romance follows two characters who find love in between everyday routines and old songs playing on vinyl records. Bathed in a nostalgic and lush yellow hue, and featuring Vietnam’s gorgeous classical architecture in the backdrop, this gentle romance smolders slowly but surely.
