Summer School, 2001

Summer 2001. Seventeen-year-old Kien, with his striking red hair, returns to his family at a market in Cheb after ten years in Vietnam. Instead of a warm welcome, he finds a distant father, a worried mother, and a younger brother who offers him nothing. Between ironing Pokémon onto t-shirts, drilling Czech language lessons, and dating by the lake, secrets surface that will turn the market upside down. Director Duzan Duong's witty and light-hearted film offers an authentic glimpse into the community through the eyes of the first Vietnamese generation to grow up in Czechia.
