The film tells the story of Thien, played by actor Le Phong Vu, who returns his sister-in-law's remains to his hometown after a motorbike accident.
From a young man who left his hometown to go to the city to make a living, busy chasing after drinking parties on street corners with his friends, Thien now has to adopt a young nephew named Dao, the son of his sister-in-law, after a family incident.
On his journey back to his hometown to bury his sister-in-law, Thien must face inner conflicts mixed with dissatisfaction with life. Stories of Thien's past appear through flashbacks with emotions that have nowhere to cling to, forcing him to embark on a journey to find the faith that he has long neglected.
“Inside the Golden Cocoon” is made in a documentary style, with many different characters, each with their own life stories: the older brother who left his wife and children to work far away, the orphaned nephew with naive questions about “faith” and “heaven”, the unfinished love story between Thien and Thao - who later decided to become a nun, a veteran named Luu who works as a mortician for the villagers,…
The film has a slow cinematic feel, with narrative details and long stretches of action and character breathing.
“Inside the Golden Cocoon” is a work that is considered full of mystery but extremely attractive, in some ways it will be difficult to watch for many audiences who are not familiar with the slow cinema style.
According to domestic and international experts, the film brings the public to a purely cinematic experience, with a slow but not lengthy, difficult-to-understand storytelling style, but on the contrary, extremely engaging with strange and interesting visual effects.
Without much entertainment, "Inside the Golden Cocoon" forces viewers to think more about the interwoven details and stories, in order to fully enjoy this film.
If at the beginning of the film, viewers will see Thien as a careless person, indifferent to what is happening around, in the end, warmth and love are what viewers still find in that character. The film brings to viewers a message of strong faith and a kind heart.
The premiere was attended by Vietnamese Ambassador to France Dinh Toan Thang.
