Fundraising screening of Vietnamese film, 'Chơi Vơi', (Adrift, 2009) @ TPD The Centre for Assistance and Development of Movie Talents was established to implement programs supporting those involved with Vietnamese cinema such as talented actors, directors and producers.
The film revolves around the young couple of Hai and Duyen, who despite getting married, lack an emotional and physical connection in their relationship. Duyen's feeling of loneliness leads her to take a trip with another man,Thổ, set up by her lesbian friend Cam who in another twist is jealous of Duyen's marriage to Hai. Although she knows that Thổ is a stereotypical 'bad boy' she finds it hard to resist the feelings he instills in her. The film portrays an interesting insight into relationships of the youth generation in Vietnam through the intertwined relationships of the characters.
You can watch the trailer for Adrift here. I am also going to try and get a copy of the DVD.
