A poignant story of a remarkable relationship between Frank Stevens, an Australian soldier sent to the Vietnamese Highlands to recruit and train the local hill tribes during the Vietnam War, and his Vietnamese translator, Minh. Nearly fifty years later, Minh, now living in Australia and seriously ill, remembers the experiences that he shared with Frank, and discovers that even amongst his traumatic memories, there is consolation and joy.
