About this Event

As part of the third edition of the Princeton French Film Festival, you're invited to the exceptional and exclusive screening of Ru (2023), a movie based on the eponymous autobiographical novel by award-winning writer Kim Thuy who will be in attendance for a Q&A.


Practical information:
Open to everyone upon registration. In Vietnamese and French with English subtitles, the screening will start at 7:15 PM on Friday, April 25th, 2025, and will last approximately 120 minutes. Doors to the screening room open at 7:00 PM.


Synopsis:
After a dangerous sea crossing and a stay in a camp in Malaysia, the young Vietnamese Tinh and her family are accepted as refugees in Canada and arrive in Montreal where they begin their new life. But for Tinh, adapting has its share of difficulties. Already shy and reserved by nature, she must learn a new language and integrate into her new environment. Haunted by the hardships of the journey, Tinh will have to draw deep within herself the resilience necessary for her survival and her happiness.
