In this tender and mysterious anti-love story Ninh negotiates a personal life marked by silence and distance, while his work as a decibel reader technician brings him into contact with unexpected sonic tensions around him, from uneasy spirits in a cemetery to a zoo of irascible monkeys.
Lê Bảo was born in 1990. His interest in cinema began when he was a little boy looking through the small window of his house that sits by the river in the slums of Saigon.
A self-trained cinephile, he learnt about cinema through watching foreign films on his computer and made his first short film when he was 20 years old, borrowing an old camera from a friend. His short films Coal and Scent were shot in the underdeveloped areas where he grew up. Taste, his first feature, is also shot with non-professional actors in the places he has known all his life.
