Synopsis: After years of absence due to war and
its aftermath, Sai, a 50 year-old military man, returns to his village for his
only daughter¡¯s wedding. This happy event makes him remember his own marriage,
along time ago: young Sai was 12 years old, the bride Tuyet was 18. This
arranged marriage was a failure for Sai. Tuyet tried to make the best of things.
The film retraces this couple¡¯s life, which runs parallel to historic
developments that are largely shaped by the long and destructive Vietnam
wars.
