Kit (Henry Golding, Crazy Rich Asians, The Gentlemen) arrives in Vietnam ahead of his older brother to search out a meaningful place to scatter their parents’ ashes. It's a country Kit last knew as a six-year-old boy when his family fled to England as refugees in the turbulent aftermath of the Vietnam War. He barely recognises Ho Chi Minh City now and grapples with a growing sense of cultural dislocation made all the worse by the fact that he has forgotten how to speak the language. When Kit meets Lewis (Parker Sawyers, Southside With You), an African American clothes designer whose father fought in the Vietnam War, a romance sparks between them and Lewis introduces Kit to the more vibrant and contemporary parts of the city. Kit also meets Linh, a young Vietnamese student who embodies the spirit of a new generation, carving out an identity in modern Vietnam despite feeling constrained by her family’s traditional values and their expectations of her. MONSOON is a rich and poignant reflection on the struggle for identity in a place where the past weighs heavily on the present. By tackling the personal and political legacies that have shaped them, Kit, Lewis and Linh can start to write an exciting new chapter in their lives. Less «
