Nam

Projection designers Yee Eun Nam and Elizabeth Barrett create a kaleidoscopic background on Chika Shimizu’s pied-à-terre set.

Nam Hyun-joo, an employee at a theological school, told the BBC that she believed the Chinese Communist Party was "the main actor behind the election fraud".

In one of the film’s most arresting shots, a recurring image in which both young men are nakedly embracing against the glinting dark coal that envelops them, Trương finds a roughened tenderness that captures just how enamored Việt and Nam are with one another.

No wonder the possibility of Nam leaving risks unsettling their tight-knit bond.

Việt fears not just what will happen to him but what may well happen to Nam if he embarks on the dangerous journey so many others in their community have taken before.
