Water Buffalo

This film is build around two stories that interlink. One,  a TV soap opera. The other, the story of a young girl in her home of Saigon, watching TV. She is watching the story of a child searching for his father in the Mekong Delta and struggling through the independance war of Indochina. This story crosses the daily life of the yound vietnamese girl that the camera follows. The first story takes the step on the other, and reversly. The film plays with the distance and the overlaping of these two stories, confronting the collective communist (un)consciousness with the contempory daily life of the new emerging urbain life style.
