SMAK PHO (THE TASTE OF PHO)

Recommended. A subtle, heart-warming tale of a Polish-Vietnamese family and the complex situation of the Vietnamese and other foreigners working in Poland. The national identity manifested through lifestyle, food, demeanor as well as mixing cultures of the Polish hosts and immigrants from all of Asia form an intricate mosaic which is visible only to a watchful eye. Thang Long Do stands out as Long. The hardships of acculturation and intercultural homesickness permeate through him. Insightful, ordinary and multi-layered at the same time.
