It's not just the title of Sandra Desmazières that is flowing (in the English translation), there's a constant sense of movement within the animation as the tale of two sisters separated by the Vietnam War plays out. Her story unfolds as an epistolary tale running back and forth in time as the sister who left, Thao (voiced by Sara Martins) and the one who stayed, Sao Maï (Linh-Dan Pham). The use of grease pencil shading adds to the sense of every moment being in flux as these two sisters reveal their very different experiences.

In both cases the rippling nature of the animation makes it perfect for depicting those things on the edge of.
