RECORDING
NUMBER 9
'Recording Number 9' is a silent, surreal short film exploring the eternal bond between mother and daughter. Named after the Vietnamese symbol for eternity (九), the story follows a woman through three life stages as she navigates a symbolic hallway of memory. By confronting a mysterious door and embracing her childhood self, she transforms buried fear into a cinematic meditation on healing and self-acceptance.
