Owl and the Sparrow

Vietnamese-American Stephane Gauger does triple duty for his feature debut as a writer, director and cinematographer. In Saigon, the path of three strangers, an orphan, a zookeeper and a flight attendant cross in this heart warming film about loneliness and human connection. A little girl runs away from her abusive uncle to Saigon where she sells flowers on the street where she bonds with a good hearted zookeeper and a beautiful flight attendant. The girl becomes cupid for these two lonely souls. Gauger has the right sensibility in the casting of his impressive cast and the atmosphere of the film. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
