The Viet­namese couple Bay and Tam have lived in Ger­many for 30 years. With little con­tact to others in the German soci­ety, the two work in empty offices as clean­ers. Through Skype and online chat rooms, they have main­tained their own Viet­nam in their apart­ment in Munich. But the lim­i­ta­tion of this world becomes appar­ent when Bay´s and Tam’s house in Viet­nam is destroyed by a storm and a family member lies on her deathbed in their former home­land. The ques­tion whether they ever really arrived in Ger­many becomes appar­ent. While Bay sees her future clear­ly with her grand­chil­dren in Ger­many, it becomes increas­ing­ly impor­tant for Tam to return to phys­i­cal Viet­nam. A film about the dif­fi­cul­ty of living in two places at once, and the ques­tion of how this dual­i­ty affects mar­riage, family, and sense of belonging.
