19-year-old Long is a deaf artist in Hanoi, navigating the world with autism and physical challenges. He found his voice and focus in art, and in creating detailed oil paintings that capture Hanoi’s Old Quarter architecture. Long’s devoted single mother raised him, always believing in his talent. For them, his art is more than expression—it is the means to support the family.
The documentary follows Long as he prepares for a solo exhibition. The pressure is high. Can he shed the easy label of “disabled artist” and achieve recognition based purely on his talent? This is an inspiring story of grit and determination, showing how Long’s passion for art does not let his impairments hold him back, but instead drives him to excel.
