In 1975, when war ends in central Vietnam, former soldier Tai from South Vietnam tries to go back to a normal life as a farmer after these difficult times. However, working the land is not enough to feed his very large family. He has an idea of using bombs and other military hardware buried in the earth to sell them at a good price. A scrap dealer’s life is full of constant danger and daily fear. Every time he digs up a bomb, he seems to enjoy escaping death and the authorities’ surveillance.
