Vang Bông - The Absence of Shadow
Martin Otter
2012 - 90 min - HD - Noir & Blanc - Allemagne

As a child, the poet Thanh Nguyen lost his sight in an American raid. He grew up, married and had a family. When his wife fell ill, he decided to go begging around the country, accompanied by his nine-year-old daughter.
Conceived as confession for two voices (father and daughter), torn by shots of absolute clarity, Vang Bóng is a journey through darkness.
