In Saigon, family culture carries on as it has for centuries, even when blood ties are broken. Through a mosaic of intimate portraits, MÁ SÀI GÒN (MOTHER SAIGON) explores humanity’s universal desire for love, acceptance, connection and belonging through an LGBTQ+ lens. The film is a love letter a bittersweet ode to a comforting yet disturbing mother, to a city that is as liberating as it is oppressive.
