Jahr des Drachen

Overview

Thomas Eichner works for a large textile company. He has traveled to Saigon to negotiate a joint venture. Far away from his home, the smouldering conflict with his grown-up son Daniel, the years of tormenting worry about his cancer-stricken wife Maren and his impending 50th birthday, he meets the Vietnamese woman Huong. She is gorgeous. She is young. She is life. When Thomas learns that the meeting with the young woman was arranged and paid for by his Vietnamese partners, he is disappointed. But Huong is magically attracted to him; a tender love develops between the two. Thomas tells her nothing about his family. Convinced that he will marry her, Huong follows him to Germany without his knowledge.
