Set in post-war Vietnam, The Demon Who Peddled
Longing tells the terrible journey of a nineteen-year-old
boy in search of the two brothers who are drifters and
who raped and killed his cousin. It brings
together the damned, the unfit, the brave, who succumb by
their own doing to the call of fate. Yet their desire to survive and to face life again never dies, so that when someone like the boy who is psychologically damaged by his family tragedy, who no sooner gets his life together after being rescued by a fisherwoman than falls in love with an untouchable girl and finds his life in peril, takes his leave in the end, there is nothing left but a longing in the heart that goes with him.
