Diem Ha Le impressed us at all levels of the film's narrative with Children of Fog. With an incredibly emotional directing and filming approach, she takes us into the life of a young protagonist with a smartphone in her hand, who lives torn between the modern world and the rural tradition of arranged marriages. The complex theme is treated in a way that does not even need to be understood, as the consequences of depriving an individual right to choose the future are felt through film images. Best of all, not only do we feel the protagonist's inner world, all the characters in the film, even the antagonists are portrayed so sensitively that we can delve into the characters and understand the world in which they face the historical practices of arranged marriages.
