Vietnam / 28'36'' / In Vietnamese with English subtitles
The story begins when Bà Phán, a 70-year-old widow, whose life is bound within the kitchen’s walls, walks in on a strip show of her granddaughter (Nhiên, 18-year-old) in her room, to the camera, on a cam-site.
Angry and ashamed, Bà Phán judges Nhiên as equal to being a prostitute for doing the cam-modeling work. Nhiên tries to convince her grandmother to believe that a woman has every right to her own body, including however she wants to exhibit it, by guiding Bà Phán through several intimate lessons. Each lesson peels a layer off Bà Phán, finally letting her reconnect with the innermost desire for her own body.
Soon, societal prejudice takes hold on Bà Phán and lets her taste the bitterness of her own medicine.
