Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell (Bên Trong Vỏ Kén Vàng)

What?

What did you say?

Eternal life.

Fuck off.

You're crazy.

You've yet to understand it.

Are you fucking kidding?

Have you sold everything?

Well, almost.

What about the PS4 console?

Sell it to me.

No, that's coming with me.

I know a lot of guys like you

who leave the city to go live in the mountains.

But it's short lived...

Sooner or later they come crawling back.

Why?

Fuck, they ran out of money, that's why!

Like I said, you've yet to understand it.

What the fuck is so hard to understand?

I know how guys like you think

believing in the eternal life,

searching for life's purpose,

the meaning of existence,

trusting in some kind of God or Deity,

- Goal! - following some cult movement.

In the deadlock, the most experienced player

Serbia's Captain, Kolarov, stepped up with a beautiful free-kick.

And the Serbian fans are on their feet!

That's all you ever think about, isn't it?

You can say whatever.

How come you're still superstitious in this day and age?

Thien.

You've been so quiet.

Say something.

The existence of faith is ambiguous.

You are just like him.

I want to believe

but I can't.

I've tried searching for it many times...

but my mind holds me back.

Stop.

That's enough.

Hello! Have you tried our draft beer?

I'm promoting D & Mé beer.

And I'd like to offer a taste of our new IPA, Ba Hoa.

- Ba Hoa? - Yes.

I have my own drink.

Ours is made from a combination of three florals.

It has a plumeria flower aroma and a signature bitter taste.

You're going to enjoy it.

Why not give it a try?

If you like it, then help me out and buy some.

It's raining.

- What the hell? - Oh my God!

Damn, that's horrible!

An accident.

How strange.

Two motorcycles collided right into each other.

One died.

One was badly injured.

But the kid riding pillion

stood up like nothing happened, not even a scratch.

You're starting to think like me.

Sir, here's your mango.

Thanks!

I've checked and number 1 is available now.

But please wait another ten minutes for number 11.

It's alright, we'll go wait in our rooms.

All right sir, I'll get them ready for you.

How about you, sir? Any special requests?

No.

If there's nothing else, sirs, please head on upstairs.

I'll arrange for the masseuses.

Sure, give us 5 minutes.

Hello.

Are you Tam?

No.

I must be mistaken.

Please lie down.

Your phone is ringing, shall I get it?

No need.

Are you afraid to pick up because it's your girlfriend?

God is calling.

God?

It's my client.

So today, does my God want it hard or soft?

Somewhere in between.

Is God stuck?

Let me help you.

Can you ask him to take the call?

It's a family emergency.

Sir, your friend insists you answer the phone.

Shall I get it for you?

Okay.

Uncle Thien!

How are you feeling?

Does it hurt?

I feel pain over here.

Let me take a look.

It hurts.

It's okay.

This bruise will heal soon.

Uncle... where is my mom?

Your mom's one floor below us.

I want to see her.

The nurse won't allow it.

I want to see my mom.

Let me see my mom!

Watch this.

Which card is this?

The black two.

One, two...

Three!

What about this?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

The red seven.

What about...

This one?

The king of...

Red.

No, black.

I got it wrong.

It's black.

Hello, I'm listening.

I'm almost done.

I'm left with the ending

So tomorrow morning?

About 7 AM.

These are the personal belongings of the deceased.

The patient was admitted with multiple injuries and brain damage.

She didn't make it in time.

This is the autopsy.

Please read and sign on the next page.

What is your relationship with the deceased?

Hanh is my sister-in-law.

Fill this in and sign below, I'll take care of the rest.

Two banh mi, please.

That'll be 30,000 VND.

Here you go.

A Viettel 50 phone top-up card, please.

Trung.

I've taken care of all the procedures and paperwork...

Including the van.

I hired a private service.

It was much cheaper.

We'll settle it at home.

Dao's fine.

See you soon.

These are traditional wedding cakes.

There are various folklores about the love shared between husband and wife,

each blessing the newlyweds

to stay loyal and loving.

Here we have tea and wine

as offerings for the ancestral altar

for the ancestors to witness the ceremony and bless the couple.

We pray that they'd grant us a favorable and joyous ceremony.

Here is a rooster with some red sticky rice.

The stickiness of the rice

symbolises the everlasting bond between the newlyweds

- with their mutual understanding. - Hey, move away!

Ladies and gentlemen,

a roasted pig, to bless the couple with wealth and prosperity

and for a baby soon to come.

Here is a rooster with some red sticky rice.

Thien!

Can I borrow your kettle?

Sure.

I'll return it soon.

Uncle Thien!

When is mom coming home?

When is she coming back, uncle Thien?

Go back to sleep.

I'll wake you the moment she arrives.

Please don't close the door!

I'll keep the door open for your mom.

Please rise.

My beloved Brothers and Sisters,

God brought us into this world,

and it is Him whom we shall return to when we depart.

The closing of the casket reminds us

that Teresa Nguyen Thi Hanh has departed from this worldly dwelling.

We look to God and pray she will be

reunited with Him in His heavenly kingdom.

My dear Brothers and Sisters.

In our earthly form, we are torn between our flesh and spirit.

The spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak.

I know Hanh possessed a strong faith.

I remember a few years ago,

she asked me to pray for her.

She was six months pregnant with her first child.

After the sonogram, the doctor said the baby had no limbs

and advised her to have an abortion.

When she came to me, she was crying profusely.

She told me she was ready to welcome the baby

regardless of its condition.

That was the faith of Hanh.
