For a long time at the heart of colonial conflict and the cold war, Hanoi now moves to the tune of its motorbike horns, its temples and pagodas, its overpopulation and controlled modernity. Beyond the tumult and constant swarming, the film depicts the capital of reunited Vietnam with its red flag with yellow crescent proudly flying on top of poles more or less all over the place.
