Chom and Sa
(Chom và Sa)

The war seen through the eyes of two children, abandoned to themselves in the Vietnamese countryside. Chom, 13 and his sister Sa, 10, take refuge in the forest to escape the bombings. But soldiers are on the prowl and the starving children risk being caught in the middle of one of the ambushes set by the two opposing sides. A pioneering filmmaker, Pham Ky Nam trained at the IDHEC before returning to Vietnam in 1956 where his career ended in 1979 with Confessions Before Dawn. JB
