Cô Ðịnh and cô Xuân, two women veterans in Ho Chi Minh City, recount their memories of torture during the Vietnamese-American war. Their remembering requires a performance-centered exploration of the Vietnamese women's tradition of "paintaking," as well as their haunting return to the Con Dao prisons as veteran-tourists.
