Cyclo

Xích Lô

1995 · Trần Anh Hùng

The film follows an 18-year-old whose cyclo-driver father is killed in a collision with a truck. Although his father hoped he would have a better life, poverty forces the young man to take over his job, pedalling a cyclo taxi through the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. He lives with his ageing grandfather, who repairs tyres despite poor health, his younger sister, who shines shoes, and his older sister, who carries water at a market.
