synopsis

A visitor from outer space travels to Earth where he takes on the form of a Vietnamese boy. He witnesses the construction of a large temple and meets various different characters who, like him, are all looking for a place they can call home. This peculiar film benefits from the mysterious atmosphere of authentic Vietnamese locations.
