5 years 8 months and 1 day

At 53 years old, Mr. Phat lives alone with his mother in a fishing village in the Mekong Delta. He earns a little money by taking tourists around in his boat. He has just come out of a long stay in a psychiatric asylum after having knifed his wife and daughter during a drunken delirium. Although he begs their forgiveness, he has not seen his family since. Surrounded by a few friends, he drowns his regrets in songs and alcohol.
