Shifting between fact and fiction in a hotel situated along the Mekong River, a filmmaker rehearses a movie expressing the bonds between a vampire-like mother and daughter.

VIBE

A languid, dreamlike immersion into memory and myth. The film drifts along the Mekong like a ghost, blurring the lines between reality and the supernatural. It’s a quiet, contemplative experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
