While making a portrait of a single gay man in Lisbon, a filmmaker offers his character a little gift from the bottom of his heart. Not only capturing beautiful interactions between two individuals through a first-person perspective camera, this is also a film on the act of filming.

Viet Vu (Quang Trung Pham) used to be a film critic before breaking into filmmaking with his debut short of “Ant-Man”, 2018. The film won him “Purin Award for The Most Promising Filmmaker from South East Asia”. He has since then completed a series of shorts on memory, time and internal decolonization. His works have been shown at Locarno, Rotterdam, Tampere, Singapore among other film festivals. At present, Viet is finishing DOC NOMADS, his master program of documentary film directing across three different cities of Europe – Lisbon (Portugal), Budapest (Hungary) and Brussels (Belgium).
