In contemporary Hanoi — a city haunted by the echoes of an unfinished love, between a Vietnamese worker sent to East Germany in the 1980s and the woman he left behind. What lingers after the collapse of an ideology inhabits faltering bodies, muted gestures, and misty corners of the city. Echoes of the past ripple through a drifting generation — an inherited fatigue, a quiet unrest, a looping refrain, a trembling future.
