Now they are returning with their German husbands to the homeland they have always longed for, in order to spend their final years together there. But here too they realize that they cannot seamlessly reconnect with their roots.
The film “Native Soil” by director Vuong Khanh Luong will also be screened in this Documentary Film Week.
