Summer School, 2001

Summer 2001. Seventeen-year-old Kien with a bright red haircut returns to his family in a market in Cheb after ten years in Vietnam. Instead of a warm welcome, he is greeted by an estranged father, a worried mother and a younger brother who gives him a hard time. In between ironing Pokémon onto T-shirts, practicing Czech and dating by the lake, a secret emerges which will turn the life of the market upside down... Told with lightness and wit, director Dužan Duong's film provides an authentic look into the community through the eyes of the first Vietnamese generation to grow up in the Czech Republic.
