My Heart Is an Octopus or My Father on the Shore of the Black Sea
2017


To seen, to heard, to love
Through footage captured by a home security camera, Nhi (23) drifts through her days in depression, isolated in a room overflowing with clutter and memories of her late mother. From the tender images and soft voices preserved on her mother’s old handycam, she rediscovers traces of companionship, encouragement, and unconditional love that endure beyond loss. These fragments grow into a quiet but steady lifeline, reminding Nhi of the resilience her mother once nurtured in her. As she learns to listen to those echoes, she begins to rise from despair, reclaim agency over her life, and slowly practice caring for herself again.
