The narrative follows a single mother named Linh, who has forged a life for her family in the U.S. But when her father visits from Vietnam, a statement says, &#8220;Linh is confronted with the past and culture she left behind and the question of where it belongs in her family&#8217;s new life.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spring Roll Dream\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1025128159?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The figures, scenes, and foodstuffs emerge from sculpted paper, and the film&#8217;s dialogue captures bilingual interactions that shift between generations.
