Program Note
Bassley has traveled all the way to Vietnam from Nigeria as a professional football player. One day he is injured and as a result, is expelled from the team. He cannot tell his family the truth because must find a way to continue to support their living. He stays in a small hair salon and becomes one of the low-class laborers in the metropolis. One of his new friends makes hot air balloons all day long, although she never has ridden in one. All of them are tired of working long hours doing whatever jobs they can take. One day, they decide to live together in an old house. In the most natural way, they wash themselves, prepare food, eat together, and sleep together. At first, they seem to have had their own paradise. However, small cracks form as jealousy and pettiness threaten their idyllic relationship. Director Le Bao, who studied film on his own without formal education in Vietnam, has created a masterpiece in which he boldly portrays realistically drawn, modern human beings on the silver screen.

LE Bao
Born in 1990 in Vietnam, Le Bao became a film director by self-training. His interest in cinema began as a little boy looking through the small window of his house that sits by the river. He learned about cinema through watching foreign films on his computer and made his first short film when he was twenty years old, after borrowing an old camera from a friend. His short films, Coal and Scent, were shot in the underdeveloped areas where he grew up. Taste, his first feature, is also shot with non-professional actors in Ho Chi Minh city, one of the places he has known all his life.
