In Huy’s family, there are many things that are left unsaid. Why is the story of his parents’ migration hardly mentioned, even though it has had a profound impact on different generations? Why is the relationship between parents and children so complicated? Is there a common story? And where does each person’s individual identity take shape? To find the answer, Huy sought out his grandparents in Vietnam. There, he recorded their daily activities, meals, and conversations. By building a close relationship with his grandparents, he also tried to understand and be closer to his parents.
