In the southern highland of the middle region, the living area of a young single-mother with two small daughters spreads between corn fields and a vú sữa (translated literally as breast milk fruit but known in English as star apple) tree behind the house. The two daughters must one day face life-changing events, only the tree continues to give fruits.
Andy DeJohn has chosen a Vietnamese story with Vietnamese images for his graduation film from USC Film School. Perhaps what touched him personally is best communicated than ever through his simple and gentle story-telling.

It is very bold of you to use the traditional Vietnamese music, Mr. director ^^ I like everything about it… except the brightness. In my opinion, it is quite bright for a drama. Make it hard to sip in the mood at the end of the film.
But maybe, it is just my point : ) Congratulations, Andy!
I love the ‘shaking the tree’ scene. Truly emotional and cinematic.
Phim rất hay và cảm động, chúc tác giả đoạt giải.
I like the two little cuties. They acted much better than Vietnamese “professionals.”
