Yangon, 1998. The film takes place one evening at the government housing apartment by the railroad where a boy and his mother waiting for the return of the father, a civil servant, to move out to another town in Upper Burma. The boy realizes the unusual bond between him and his mother regards the young helpful man-next-door
In my early work as a cinematographer, the film was screened in several international film festivals.
In May 2008 a cyclone called Nargis raged for hours in Myanmar’s Ayeyarwaddy Delta, killing 140,000 people. Seven days after the storm, several young Burmese filmmakers made their way – carefully, since filming was banned by the government – to villages that had been utterly devastated, and met people who had lost everything to the cyclone. They recorded scenes that touched them to the core, moving through a world that appeared more surreal than real, where life and death seemed to coexist. Their images reflect their own feelings as much as those of the people they met; these emotions have been woven into a film that conveys what it means when a natural disaster like Nargis changes forever the lives of so many.
