Through footage captured by a home security camera, Nhi (23) drifts through her days in depression, isolated in a room overflowing with clutter and memories of her late mother. From the tender images and soft voices preserved on her mother’s old handycam, she rediscovers traces of companionship, encouragement, and unconditional love that endure beyond loss. These fragments grow into a quiet but steady lifeline, reminding Nhi of the resilience her mother once nurtured in her. As she learns to listen to those echoes, she begins to rise from despair, reclaim agency over her life, and slowly practice caring for herself again.

The Idle Ones

Nov 2, 2001

The Idle Ones is a profile of contemporary affairs - somewhere on the edge of Europe - in a place where unemployment for some young people is fast becoming a way of life. Covering a period of 18 months, the film follows the activities of a group of young men in their 20s who have finished their schooling and stayed in their home village - they loaf about unemployed since they can´t find any work in the remote district. The main characters are more or less idle young fellows whose stories link together and make up the film. Tinged with humour, The Idle Ones is a story about frustrated but vital young people in a period of transition, waiting for something to happen. For some, the waiting is becoming their life.
