The Journey of Vaan Nguyen

Synopsis

In her painful blog, Vaan Nguyen unfolds the absurdities of her life as an Israeli-born Vietnamese. Her father was one of the many “boat-people” who fled Vietnam in 1975. Now, when the time has come to go back home, they both leave to Vietnam, hoping they can reclaim their confiscated lands. Their journey becomes a parable on lose of identity and on the fate of refugees.
