English titles: Vertical Ray of the Sun; At the Height of Summer; The Summer Solstice.
Synopsis: Three sisters and a brother, as well as two of the sisters' husbands, are the subject of this film. Lien is single and lives with her brother, with whom she is infatuated; Suong's marriage has been stagnant for a long time and she has an affair; Khanh, who has just found out about her own pregnancy, is happily married. Hai lives with his sister and is a struggling actor. Quoc, Suong's husband, is a botanical photographer and has another family in another town. Kien, Khanh's husband, is a writer with a block.
Appraisal: Superficial account of six lives, that has the approximate feel of a Brazilian soap opera, except slower and with less dialog. The cinematography is gorgeous, though.
