A Hundred Years of Happiness

"A rural Vietnamese couple’s optimism to support their daughter’s fast-tracked journey as a marriage migrant to South Korea leaves little time for reflection."

A Hundred Years of Happiness; an observational documentary, is a personal portraiture of a Vietnamese farming family and their daughter Tram. While her father instils in her the importance of familial obligation to care for one’s ageing parents, her mother desires a secure future devoid of economic hardship. Determined to fulfil both her parent’s wishes, Tram pursues a new life in South Korea as a migrant bride, but her fast-tracked journey leaves little time for reflection.
