THE EAST SEA

Director & Producer: Michel D.T. Lam

Three tableaux, each representing a different generation of a Vietnamese family, making us reflect on exile, family, cultural transmission, memory, identity and art.

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
