My Father’s Truck

When Nhi’s grandmother becomes seriously ill, she has to accompany her father, whom she hardly knows, during his work as a truck driver. In his debut feature, Mauricio Osaki condenses motifs from his short film of the same name into a sensitive observation of a difficult father-daughter relationship. Thereby, he dispatches the two of them in a road movie across Vietnam, following them as they seek reconciliation and a common future.
