A place of eternal mystery. A time in which anything can happen. A story of extraordinary strength. A woman in a hostile environment, disguising herself as others in order to survive. There is no other choice but to become a heroine. Legende van de witte slang is a warning to young men to beware of beautiful women of unknown origin and not to give in to their base desires. It tells the story of a woman on a mission, ready to rewrite history.

An exhilarating evening with Nhung Dam: unusual, wondrous, whimsical, absurd, eccentric, mythical and fantastic.
“I am not the first—so why does it feel like I am? This is what I was born for. This is what I have been trained for, nourished for, shaped for. My father called me to the coast. To marry. But now… we are going to do things very differently.”
