Trailer & Synopsis
A small village in South-Central Vietnam. Mid-1980s. Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass is a touching tale of innocent love, friendship and brotherhood. Thieu and his young brother Tuong’s coming of age story is also riddled with conflict. Tuong idolizes his older brother’s confidence and constantly strives for his approval. But in reality, Thieu’s “over-confidence” is to compensate for his overwhelming insecurities. Thieu is constantly jealous with his younger brother when it comes to grades, talent and affection from Moon, a girl from the village.
