In every person's life, there are eight doors. You never know which door will open and what day it will be. There are even some days when all the doors open.

Kiều transforms Truyện Kiều (The Tale of Kiều), a classic Việtnamese epic poem, into a visually stunning, modern-day feature length film about self-revelation and renewal. The first film of its kind, Kiều portrays the experience of a massage parlor worker in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District who balances faith in the face of contradictions daily. As the story rapidly unfolds within a twenty-four hour period, so does Kiều. On this day, her life is on the brink of change; a letter from home, visits from a kindred spirit, and unexpected turn of events flow into a collision of past, present and future. One by one, fragments of her fate merge. Like Truyện Kiều, Kiều is an honest telling of women’s survival, perseverance, and compassion against incredible odds.
