They make a living by buying wholesale groceries early in the morning at Long Bien Market and reselling them locally throughout the day. But when Thu’s mother falls for a driver, she enters a relationship that has no future, and her business suffers as a result. Trying on her own to make ends meet, strong-willed Thu longs for her mother’s affection and in compensation, devotes her affection to her classmate Dang, whom she calls her son.
