Dir: Stephane Gauger - feature film debut

Impressions: It is so refreshing to see a film about hope and persistence to strive towards what believe in, and helping other people selflessly. Owl and the Sparrow follows the story of three protagonists: Thuy a young girl who takes a chance to make it on her own at the age of ten, Lan an unfulfilled flight attendant and Hai a zookeeper. Who would think these three would have anything in common? But they do, they are all searching for something, or is it someone? It is a gentle and touching look at the optimistic side of human nature and the power of choice.
After viewing, it is no surpize that Owl and the Sparrow has already won awards at the festivals where it has played. I would expect this trend to continue as it is well deserved.
