Plot: Post-war Vietnam was full of mines and unexploded bombs. Not everyone wants to risk his life clearing them up, but some had little choice. Such as Tai. As a former soldier for the NME, he can’t get a job and has two families to maintain. With true contempt for death, he starts disposing of mines. This is a dangerous, almost suicidal job, but thanks to his disregard for death, from that moment on Tai is able to earn his living. (Gertjan Zuilhof)

• A black comedy about landmines that flirts with outright slapstick (Variety)
• “Living in Fear” vividly portrays the wounds left by the Vietnam War, wounds salted by social pressure and anxiety. The director handled this unique subject matter with maximum impact through powerful cinematic elements.” (Gertjan Zuilhof – Rotterdam Int. Film Festival)
