Want this badge?First Morning begins when a young man returns home on the threshold of the Lunar New Year and finds himself a stranger within his own family. The cold silence surrounding the disappearance of his younger sister forces him on a quest for answers. Through his search, we are given a glimpse of the familys fragmented past. From their perilous escape from Vietnam, to their separation, to their struggle with marred relationships, the family continues to endure the tragedies of false expectations.
First Morning is a movie about the path from lost identity to self-discovery and from alienation to hope and rebirth. Victor Vu, who was born and raised in Los Angeles after his parents immigrated to the U.S. in 1975, sees his familys history as the inspiration for First Morning. There have been countless films about Vietnam, most of which deal with the war. I was most interested in telling a personal story about the destruction of family and the difficult journey towards healing in the aftermath of war.The Metro Silicon Valley Weekly called the film, heartfelt, serious, and deliberate. While the North County Times says, First Morning is a well-made poignant and ultimately hopeful film.Running time: 90 minutes, Rated PG-13
