(Dziecko z pyłu)
Sang is a child of the Vietnam War. Born to a local mother and an American soldier, he grew up—like many children abandoned by foreign troops—in poverty and isolation. Yet he chooses to confront his lifelong trauma and set out to trace the identity of his long-absent father. To meet his American family, Sang must first leave home and embark on an uncertain journey across fractured roots. Will he recover a lost childhood, or open a new wound? This sensitive film explores a forgotten chapter of global relations, historical trauma, and the failure of American society to take responsibility for its past.
