Hoezo in KINO

Amid the pressures of globalisation, nature and minority languages are in steep decline. In rural Vietnam, an elderly woman from the Rục community teaches her great-grandson to value both. Directors Graux and Trương capture this exchange in a tactile, deeply immersive style, evoking a vivid sense of place and a world already slipping from view. A meditative 16mm gem, recalling Samsara (2023). Presented by Sprouts Film Festival and Asian Movie Night. At both screenings, the directors Nicolas Graux and Trương Minh Quý will be present for a Q&A.

Storyline

She was born in a cave, more than 60 years ago. Now she lives in a village, with many children and grandchildren to look after. Sometimes, she dreams of her dead mother calling her home – to the cave.
