This film traces a matrilineal lineage of tenderness, navigating the structural fractures of war and patriarchy in Vietnam. Structured as a dialogue between the artist and their grandmother, who lived through the Vietnam War, the work reflects on the lived experience of a great-grandmother whose identity was forged in the crucible of French colonialism and traditional social hierarchies.

The piece investigates the imperfection of preservation, acknowledging that a life can never be fully archived. By treating photographs and oral histories as fragments, partial, unstable, and incomplete, the film suggests that "truth" lies within these gaps. It is a meditation on how these inherited fragments of care and resilience continue to shape the contemporary self, persisting even when the physical record fails.
