Exclusive: Film is second work from director of critically acclaimed Buffalo Boy.
Paris-based Premium Films has acquired futuristic Vietnamese, murder mystery 2030 (Nuoc) which is set to open the Panorama section of the Berlinale.
2030 is the second feature from Vietnamese director Nghiem-Minh Nguyen-Vo after his critically acclaimed Buffalo Boy, which was Vietnam’s Oscar submission in 2006 and screened at several festivals including Toronto, Rotterdam Locarno and Busan.
The film is set against the backdrop of a futuristic Vietnam, where global warming and rising sea levels have forced cultivation to be done on floating farms.
The storyline revolves around a woman investigating the death of her husband. In the process, she discovers that a floating farm, close to where her husband’s body was found floating, is a secret genetic engineering research laboratory run by a former lover.
