THE MOTHERLOAD
"Losing The American Lore in Vietnam"
THE MOTHERLOAD is a comedy/drama film. directed by Van Tran Nguyen.
Starring Sang Tran and Van Tran Nguyen
Synopsis
An imaginative telling of the story of a Vietnamese American mother-daughter duo who, in their attempt to heal the rift between them, reenact and satirize scenes from celebrated Vietnam War films while depicting a diasporic reality. Two inventive storylines complicate The MOTHERLOAD to levels of absurdity. Both of these glide in and out beneath the narrative backbone of Jessca and Kim’s personal story, and reflect the stunning disconnect between the Vietnamese diaspora and the world’s understanding of their presence.
