The video juxtaposes images and sounds recorded at various locations in Vietnam and features two appeals expressed by two supposed ghosts: one is hearable via an audio production by the 6th Psychological Operations Battalion (PSYOP) of the US-Army during America's war in Vietnam, which was intended as a weapon to weaken the fighting morale of the Vietcong, distributed via loudspeakers over their supply routes. The other ghost makes herself heard using Sung Tieu's aunt as her medium.
