***@******
In the 1970s, amidst the chaos of the Vietnam War and the Khmer Rouge genocide, a refugee crisis emerged in Indochina. Taiwan established a refugee camp in Penghu, but this chapter of history is missing from UN records, as if it were hidden and forgotten. Two young Vietnamese sisters, Chi and Phuong, board the refugee boat fleeing from Vietnam with their family. However, the boat is stranded at sea for 66 days, with only 34 of the 146 passengers surviving. These survivors are taken to the Vietnamese refugee camp in Penghu, Taiwan. Phuong and Chi‘s mother and brother die on the boat. They become each other’s only family, living in the camp for three years. Eventually, Phuong dies in the camp, while Chi is later taken in by the Belgian government. In 2003, in Brussels, Belgium, Chi wakes up from a dream in tears. In the dream, she sees her deceased sister Phuong and Phuong’s dream. In this dream within the dream, Chi learns that the Penghu refugee camp will be demolished next month.
