In 1997, Kramer visited Vietnam for the third time and shot this film that concludes his “Vietnam Trilogy” (the other two being People’s War and Starting Place). Kramer’s DV camera observes the precipitated transformation of its society into the free-market capitalist system and the things that about to be forgotten and lost in that. The intimate travel diary turns into a deep meditation about globalization and the filmmaker’s point of view as they occur in our present world.
