In a world where men are fish and women are shrimp, the birth of a new species emerges—Trần Thanh Dương. Inspired by Vietnamese folklore and Saint Gióng, this cross-temporal film explores transformation and identity through Xẩm-Chèo traditional opera musical forms, asking where those who don’t fit belong.
