Those Who Return

Minh Chau, a third-year history student, touches an old compass during fieldwork in Viet Bac and wakes in 1947. Rescued by a resistance platoon, she slowly becomes a soldier while the compass shows her fragments of the future. Knowing who may die but unable to escape time’s cruel rules, Chau must choose when to intervene and when to endure. After seven years of war, she returns to the present carrying a promise to recover the remains and keepsakes of the comrades she left behind.
