Fiction
After her father's tragic passing, a daughter returns from the Czech Republic to Vietnam to be with her mother. They travel to Sapa and embark on a shared pilgrimage to Heaven Gate, a tourist attraction in northern Vietnam. The mother hopes to reunite with her late husband, ascending the mountains seeking solace, unlike Orpheus' descent into the underworld. The daughter, grappling with her own vulnerability, joins the physical journey while navigating her own mental abyss. Together, they try to find healing and understanding amidst the sublime beauty of nature. However, their journey reveals that the women have been struggling to connect since the father's accident.
