Summer School, 2001

Summer 2001. Seventeen-year-old Kien, with his striking red hair, returns to his family in a Cheb market 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.

Amidst ironing Pokémon onto t-shirts, drilling Czech grammar, and dating by the lake, secrets surface that will turn the market family's life upside down. Director Dužan Duong's film offers an authentic glimpse into the community through the eyes of the first Vietnamese generation to grow up in Czechia - delivered with lightness and wit.
