All their lives, Yasmine and Djibril Morissette Phan have heard of their mother's old country, Vietnam. But it was more a far distant land with lots of folklore more than a real place in their mind.

What they found will leave them change forever. Khiem is a poignant story about the past, the present and the future. About generations. A journey about reconnecting with your own roots.
