1975, the Communist have taken over Vietnam and the people are fleeing its shores. Long (Long Nguyen) unable to see his country suffer, convinces his family to escape to the US and stays behind to find for the Nationalists. But rather than finding freedom for his country he ends up in a re-education camp. His struggle for survival is juxtaposed beautifully with what his family go through on the ocean to freedom. As the film winds around it just shows that in war, freedom is usually just a point of view and hope sometimes is a dangerous but powerful thing.
