Nam is nowhere near your average swoon-worthy male lead: he’s lazy, argumentative and hedonistic to the point that he was evicted by his parents for partying too much. Truc sells old books in a public park in Saigon, but she’s illiterate. She always wears an áo dài and leaves her hair untied. And if that’s not enough to reinforce her status as a manic pixie dream girl, she’s also honest, innocent and doesn’t know how to lie. Truc allows Nam to take refuge in her “home,” which is an abandoned house with makeshift furniture and mossy walls, and slowly they begin to connect as she teaches him about the realities of life.
