Synopsis:

An exploration of Vietnam through a child's first birthday celebrations in the Mekong Delta. Decades after the end of the war, the devastating effects on the land and its people continue.

The film bears all the hallmarks of Grigsby's personal style: the meditative tone, the prominent silences and the clear political edge that makes a strong statement about life in Vietnam through the experiences of a single family.
