Before dawn in Hội An, one family begins a daily ritual: handcrafting Cao lầu noodles by firelight. This vanishing tradition-once common, now practiced by only two families-demands long hours, quiet precision, and devotion passed down through generations. This series documents their pre-dawn labor, the steam and motion of their work, and the quiet pride behind every gesture. It is a tribute to a way of life preserved not for profit, but for memory.
