The movie tells the story of Tihn, a young girl who immigrates to Quebec from Vietnam in 1978 along with her family and other refugees known as “boat people.”
After a perilous sea crossing, young Vietnamese Tinh and her family arrive in Quebec, where they begin their new life. Thanks to a warm welcome from everyone, including the family who sponsors them, Tinh slowly adapts to her new reality. Shy and reserved by nature, Tinh will have to draw from deep within herself the determination needed to adapt to her new reality.
Tihn’s character and the story are inspired by Thúy’s life.
RU is an adaptation of Kim Thúy ‘s award-winning 2009 novel by the same name. (Canada Reads award 2015)
