Synopsis / Plot:
Passive and artistically mysterious in its details, the story of three sisters flutters between multiple paths in present day Hanoi. An elliptical narrative starting with a traditional memorial on the anniversary of a Mothers' death and ending with a similar gathering commemorating the deceased Fathers' birthday one month later. The purposeful confusion, on which three sisters stories are branching and expanding in paced detail, is easily muted in the viewers mind by the overwhelming visual splendor that just keeps blossoming on screen. This visual symphony of art is backed by a lilting traditional score by Ton That Tiet and the beautiful Vietnamese folk music of Trinh Cong San.

Each scene seems to overflow with beauty, whether in the surrounding environment with its crisp chirping sounds of birds, insects, rain or the unique art objects that adorn many of the households that we enter into. It is so easy to get sensual comfort from this film, that the details, which at times can be hazy, are all secondary. When they become clearer, as the film progresses, we then realize how close we have become to its characters. (DVDBeaver)

Troubleshooting:
- I can't see the subtitles/why is there no extra subtitle file?
+ The subs are embedded in the mkv-container. If you can't see them this picture may help you. Or try another player.

- I can't open the video/the screen is black/the audio is asynchronous/the video is lagging sometimes:
+ Try another player (KMP, MPC Homecinema, PotPlayer > VLC >>> WMP) / install ffdshow tryouts / buy a newer computer. Also make sure your player and codecs are up to date. Particularly ffdshow tryouts and Haali Media Splitter!

- My download won't start??????
+ Check your status/rank in your profile. You may have been guested/banned or you have a waiting time imposed on new torrents because you are a leecher (360 hours wait time) or a new user (24 hours wait time).

- There are no seeders, what should I do?
+ View the snatcher history (click where it says "Downloaded: XX times" ) and send them a PM kindly asking them to re-seed.

- I need help...
+ Read the Rules first. Then use the forums search function or ask in the IRC channel #avistaz@irc.rizon.net (web applet).

- I don't have an account and I can't register?????
+ Registrations may be closed. Come back later and check if reg is open again. Don't ask anyone about registration or invites. Forum access does not enable you to download. You need a separate tracker account.
