About

Cynical British journalist Fowler falls in love with a young Vietnamese woman but is dismayed when a naïve U.S. official also begins vying for her attention. In retaliation, Fowler informs the communists that the American is selling arms to their enemy.
A weary, cynical journalist navigates the moral fog of 1950s Vietnam while caught between a haunting love and a reckless American idealist. This period drama captures the collision of colonial ghosts and naive interventionism through sharp dialogue and stifling tension.
