Movie Haiku:American soldier suddenly disappears, leaving his wife to seek out a living in Saigon. She sends their son back to the Vietnamese heartland where he's raised by family members who despise him until he's old enough to begin his long search for answers. Sabina Murray’s screenplay grounds an eloquent masterpiece.
