Memoryland is inspired by a real situation in Đại Bái village, located in the Northern Center of Vietnam. When local farmers cannot live in their homeland, they gradually leave, abandoning their fields and homes. Among those who leave, many rebuild their lives far away from home, but they are still struggling and as a result, they forget their parents. Aged fathers and mothers who stay behind look forward to hearing from their children until they can’t remember either their children’s faces and names, or how many children they have, who is alive, who is already dead. And Death comes to them in their endless loneliness...
