Hair, Paper, Water...

2025 | Belgium and Vietnam | 71 mins | Original version with French subtitles
directed by Minh Quý Trương and Nicolas Graux

Through the landscape, the film sensitively explores the fragile relationship between humans and nature, as well as family ties and the intergenerational transmission of language. This film delicately portrays Madame Hau, who was born in a cave in Vietnam over sixty years ago, and explores with great sensitivity her relationship with nature, her family and the Rục language, which is now on the verge of extinction.
