Opens April 4 | In the dark coal mines, thousands of feet underground, two young miners, Viêt and Nam, cherish tender, intimate moments together that they cannot share in public. Soon, Nam will move abroad for better opportunities, and the men will be separated. But before he leaves, Nam will accompany his mother into the forest to find the remains of his father, a soldier who never returned from the war. Banned in Vietnam for its “negative portrayal of the country,” VIET AND NAM, stunningly shot on 16mm, is a spellbinding, slow-cinema exploration of the legacies of a nation, anchored by an achingly beautiful love story.
