Tran Xuan Ve is an old farmer who works with his wife on a plantation full of butterflies. Sitting in his pleasant country house, he recalls the carnage he witnessed as a young soldier in the Cambodian-Vietnamese War: a common one-kilometer-long ditch with indistinct bodies being devoured by swamp vermin. The green freshness of the fruit we see is blended with the viscous rot of the corpses in the narrated memory.
