Vũ Minh Trí

Slaughtering chickens for a living, Tao spends most of his time in close proximity with the birds which seem to be the only companions to his solitude. Until one day three strange gangsters come to hide in the abandoned building where he is living in, bringing violence, noisy drunkenness, bullying and a young prostitute. Turning for the worst, the situation will precipitate into a spiral of muted love and cruel torture to an utterly unpredictable outcome.

An 18-year-old girl is about to enter university. The incident occurs when her sister has an accident, causing her not only to lose her home but also to adopt a new baby born to her sister.

The story follows the "three musketeers" from a suburban flower village.
