Hoa

Economic development and the demand for cheap timber are slowly transforming the forests of North Vietnam. Since she was a child, Hoa has learned about medicinal plants knowing that part of this heritage will disappear. Today Hoa, together with her family (her daughter Chiem, her husband Dai, her mother Hai), tries to defend this biodiversity and the transmission of this ancient knowledge.
