Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere is a 2014 internationally co-produced drama film written and directed by Nguyễn Hoàng Điệp.

Huyền is a college student. Her boyfriend, Tùng, works for the city and enjoys illegal cockfighting. They live together in the capital, far away from their families. Tùng always wants to make love with Huyền, which results in Huyền's discovery of pregnancy. The couple, which never has enough money to make ends meet, decides to abort.

Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere has received mostly favourable reviews from critics. Guy Lodge from Variety wrote "Vietnamese helmer Diep Hoang Nguyen's sly, sensual, politically probing debut is a knocked-up drama with a difference".^[1]
