Synopsis
The film follows Ninh (played by Nguyễn Quốc Tuấn), a divorced mechanic living with his mother whose job entails installing decibel meters across public spaces and homes. Longing for his estranged ex-wife and young children while hoping his separated parents might reconcile, Ninh begins to notice how the shifting soundscapes and rising decibel levels around him reflect the unspoken emotional distances, generational rifts, and silences haunting his family.
