MEIN VIENTNAM

by Tim Ellrich

synopsis

The documentary follows a 60 year old Vietnamese couple that has been living in Germany for the past thirty years. They work together as cleaners and spend most of their free time online. Besides daily communication to maintain the connection to their families back in Vietnam, they also have to experience intense moments through the internet: A storm destroys their own house in Vietnam and a close family member is in a dying condition. This film tells a story about a marriage that drifts apart and about the limitations of the virtual bubble many refugees live in.
