From the organizer:

“Mother’s Soul” produced by the Vietnam Feature Film Studio, was nurtured in 20 years by director Nhue Giang. The movie is based on a same-name short story written by Nguyen Huy Thiep in the late 1980s. It is about a mother and her daughter who live in a tent amid the Red River in Hanoi. The mother (Hong Anh) is always busy making a living day by day by selling fruits in Long Bien market and desperately running for the love with a long-distance driver (Truong Minh Quoc Thai). Meanwhile, her little daughter (Phung Hoa Hoai Linh) is an independent and mature girl who always protects the neighbouring orphan, a boy living with his grandparents.

In the film, young star Phung Hoa Hoai Linh showed her strong capability with a touching and sincere acting style, which made her become the youngest Vietnamese artist to win the Best Actress trophy at 2011 Dubai’s International Film Festival. She was also rated as one of the potential faces of future cinema generations of Vietnam.

Besides, the film also won other prizes such as the jury’s prize in Vietnam Film Festival held in Phu Yen in 2011 and top prize at Vietnam Film Festival in Saint Malo, France in 2014.
