Very good short narrative about tragedies of war in perspective of one family, especially having in mind that this is film student work. It might get a bit confusing, because the story is set in three different alternating time lines, but in the end it all connects into one tragic story. It could have used wider lensing, but nature of Vietnam and inside on the Buddhist temple is shot beautifully.
