Summary
November 2021 - Ho Chi Minh City.

Soon after the Covid lockdown restrictions were lifted up in Saigon, there was a great shift within society, fresh winds of hope replaced for long nights of sorrow, people began to reignite the flow of "new normal" life.

On a fine Sunday afternoon, I followed Bich Linh family - a typical Saigonese urban family, as four people visited a recreation center in District 7. There, I documented a glimpse of life as they gathered, played, run, laughed and shared precious moments together - something they would have never dared thinking of just a few months before.
