Short Film (English/Italian/Vietnamese), 2019-2020, Berlin

Interview with The New Current (Papaya Rocks Film Festival) Conversation with Thuy Trang Nguyen (Elsewhere Cinema Club)


Marriage, especially between LGBT+ persons, becomes the most common means to secure one's place i.e. one's "possible future" in another country. However, this leads to the clash of differences - between two person; the inequalities and the conflicts of powers, found in their private sphere.

This simple story within one household - about spatial territories, gastronomic practices, personal memories, camouflaged identities and the coercive need to "integrate" into the dominant host culture - offers a quirky means of political resistance.
