Hla and Nyo Nyo usher in new life amidst one of the world's longest running conflicts. Hla is the sharp-tongued but warm Buddhist owner of a makeshift medical clinic in Rakhine State. Nyo Nyo is from the Muslim minority Rohingya community and a savvy apprentice midwife for Hla. Both dream of a better life for the women of their community. Filmed over five years, Snow Hnin Ei Hlaing’s feature directorial debut is a subtle and beguiling portrait of two lives dedicated to the wellbeing of others in a society where their greatest risk is to be together.
