Khang (Liên Bỉnh Phát) is on his way to success. Due to his family connection, he is assigned the much-coveted job of working on a new translation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince. Moving to an apartment in Saigon to start his new job, Khang finds himself emotionally entwined with his neighbour Kỳ Nam (Đỗ Thị Bảo Yến), a reserved widow of a Southern Vietnamese officer, who now makes her living by cooking. As Khang searched for the right word for his manuscript, he also found himself in conflict with the prejudices typical of the post-war era. (Notes by Trà My Nguyễn Hoàng)
