Synopsis
Renowned Spanish conceptual artist Antoni Muntadas embarks on a quirky journey as he travels to Hanoi for the very first time. Delving into the essence of this city, Muntadas immerses himself in its vibrant wet market and contemplatively wanders through its quiet cemetery as he is wont to do when visiting a new city. Through his quirky and introspective observations between the heavy traffic in the urban centre, this documentary is an exploration of the urban landscape and the tapestry of life within Hanoi.
