What does it mean to truly honor and support our parents? “To Our Parents, with Love” delves into this question through a series of poignant stories. Traditionally, Vietnamese children are expected to be caregivers to aging and ailing parents. Both One Summer Night and Repeat address the weight of those expectations, the emotionally taxing responsibilities that sometimes lead to personal desires taking a backseat.
The deeply personal journeys of Lifeline and Coconut find adult children reconnecting with loved ones – whether through revisiting memories or navigating new emotional terrain that comes with aging. Mẹ Con (My Mom) and Newspapers examine the ways we honor familial bonds and fulfill promises through creative expressions and reflections on shared experiences.“To Our Parents with Love” offers a nuanced look at the sacrifices and enduring love that define the bonds, frayed or taut, between children and parents.
