An allegorical tale of lust, love, passion, betrayal and freedom, beautifully told.

Even though this is a Vietnamese film, we're in John Ford country. Stunningly shot in a beautiful rugged, semiarid region of Vietnam, this is a modern day Western telling an allegorical tale that enchants and seduces and surprises and ultimately moves you to tears. It's unlike anything you've ever seen before.

Take an escaped prisoner on the run, an isolated goat farm in a beautiful setting with a nurse and the strange wealthy, young man, mysteriously ill, that she cares for, drench with sensuality and eroticism, and you get a fever dream of lust, love, passion, betrayal and redemption and one of the most interesting love triangles in film history.

Complex, nuanced, with superb acting and stunning cinematography and an original script that takes you for a ride, if you ever run across this film, which is available in an English subtitled version titled "Paradise in Heart", don't hesitate to watch it.
