Buffaloboy

Indochina, 1940, under French occupation. Kim, aged 15, has the job of taking his two buffaloes far away from the flooded lands of the South. These buffaloes are the family's only source of income and must arrive safely in the Ba Thé mountains.
This dangerous journey across vast, water-logged landscapes marks Kim's coming of age. He joins a gang of buffalo keepers who are part-time bandits, and discovers an adult world made up of brawls, alcohol, and pillaging. In time, this violence gives way to friendship, love, and the joy of freedom.
