The Trip Back to Hometown with My Parents Plot and Cast
The filmmaker's father was born in Hải Phòng in northern Vietnam. As a reckless teenager, he fled south and settled in Đà Nẵng, where he met his mother. The couple had eight children, and the filmmaker is the youngest. War and poverty prevented the father from returning home for decades. In 1983, thirty years later, he finally went back, only to find his mother long gone and his father blind. Now 81 and frail, he insists on one last journey to Hải Phòng to bring the family ancestral altar to Đà Nẵng, so it will rest with the eldest son and be cared for by his descendants. The trip is complete.
