Hearing
Ninh lives with his mother and misses his ex-wife Ngoc and their young children. In his work as a mechanic who installs decibel meters in public spaces and homes, Ninh observes the silence that haunts relationships. Wishing for his parents, who live apart and do not speak to each other, to reconcile, his fear of losing connection to his loved ones forces Ninh to face life’s unpredictable rhythms.
