Full of vivid images and sounds reflecting many aspects of daily life in the Southeast Asian country, the film takes viewers on a tour of the nation through the small screen.

Starting from the south, home to the country's most dynamic economic hub, Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, down to the famous gardens and rivers of the Mekong Delta, then gliding across the Central strip of land to the North, towards the Gulf of Tonkin and Hanoi, Vietnam stretches like a dragon reaching out to the East Sea.

As the cradle of an incredibly rich civilization, the nation has managed to preserve its ancient capital cities and colonial architecture, which in itself is testament to the cultures that spanned their history.

The country is a diverse picture that boasts many spectacular natural landscapes, from rice terraces to the islands dotted around Ha Long Bay. Interspersed with sounds, images, colours, and flavours, Bacos takes viewers on a trip to Vietnam that, according to him, will quickly become a "feast for the senses".
