- This film recreates antebellum Vietnam through the wide eyes of childhood and the deep blush of first love. In 1951 Saigon, 10-year old Mui enters household service for an affluent but troubled Vietnamese family. Despite her servile role, Mui discovers beauty and epiphany in the lush physical details that envelop her, while earning the fragile affection of the household’s grieving matriarch. As she comes of age, the now grown Mui finds her relationship with a pianist she has admired since childhood growing in depth and complexity.
