Saigon Kiss
Hồng Anh Nguyễn
In Saigon’s busy rush hour traffic, Mo helps Vicky when her motorbike breaks down, taking her along to a dance video shoot. In the middle of a separation, she finds herself in an uncertain, in-between space with no clear direction. It’s one of those chance encounters where the outcome is open.
