DUST
Once upon a time, there was an old lady, a boy and a dog. All day long, they roamed the streets, pushing their little truck so as to glean cardboard and plastic which they sell to whoever pays the most. They only return home when the city is fast asleep.
FIND OUT
Pottery seller
To escape from the difficulties of life in the countryside, Hung and Thuy decide to sell ceramic ware. They mortgage their family home to buy a boat which is used to transport the goods. They travel down the Red River to reach Hanoi, the capital, and sell their pots as best they can. Their new direction is not so easy.
FIND OUT
Daddy’s come home
Without sufficient work in the countryside, many peasants go to Hanoi to sell their labor force. As day laborers, they wait in the streets of the city until a job is offered them. After particularly arduous work, some decide to return to the countryside to be near their wives and children. The main character, surrounded by his neighbors, recounts the difficulties and the differences in living conditions between the city and the country.
