Rainbow Without Colours
Nguyễn Quang Tuyến : 2015
Cầu vồng không sắc
It was a full moon day in July, a day on which many Vietnamese believe spirits of the dead can return home. Mrs Yen was sleeping and she dreamt about Hung – her elder, adopted son, who died many years ago. Why is Hung's spirit returning? Is it to seek revenge for his death? Mrs Yen's dream is a consequence of the relationship between her biological son and her adopted son. When they announced their love to the family, Mrs Yen was devastated. She could not accept it and her efforts to keep them apart may have driven Hung to his death. In Vietnam, as elsewhere, parents are sure they know what's best for their children. But the spirits may not be convinced. Nguyễn Quang Tuyến's feature debut premiered in competition at Montréal World Film Festival 2015.
