Synopsis : Sương, a young girl from rural Vietnam, migrates to the bustling city of Saigon hoping to find a job. She happens upon a small local eatery where she is offered a job working and living alongside two other migrant women. The three spend their days together. Within the caging, barren walls of the eatery, their mornings are filled with repetitive tasks, and the rest of the day with vacuous, tedious hours. Behind her veil of apathy, Sương battles a dilemma that she soon has to face with her family.
Director Bio : Born and raised in Madrid, Spain, Pedro’s love of film began with his parents' collection of 500 VHS tapes. He has also lived in London and Saigon, where he made a handful of independent short films. After three years in Vietnam, he started developing “The Girl from Dak Lak”, with a clear intent to make a movie with a script outline, non-professional cast, and minimal crew. This independent, self-funded film is his feature debut.
