Poussières de vie (Dust of Life)

1975: The Communist Army defeats the South Vietnamese Forces, Saigon falls while US troops leave hurriedly. Many of these American soldiers leave a woman and children behind. Son is one of these Amerasians. Two months after the fall of Saigon, the new government launches a large "reeducation program" for the children roaming the streets of the city. They will be placed in "work camps". Taken away by the Bo-doï, Son and other children are being crammed into trucks, then hauled across the country to the Northern High Plains, in search of a camp. Once at the camp, the kids are forced to work at clearing the land. They are submitted to revolutionary order and ethics.
