A grief-stricken trip to Quảng Trị, a filmmaker’s grandfather’s hometown, as she’s dealing with his passing. The filmmaker met a local tour guide and explored different religious and political landmarks together. Going beyond official narratives, the filmmaker tries to understand the land as it is: the pain, the traumas, faiths, and the conflicts accompanied with natural landscape, as a way to understand the root of her own grief. Metaphorically, if we see a land as a body, how do traumas (re)surface on it? How do we treat the wounds and how do we heal from them, individually and collectively?
