Credits.
Mekong Delta, 1999
My hometown, a land of vast green fields
and army of brick kilns sinking
in the golden light of dusk.
There held
the unforgettable
memories of our youth,
love
and regrets.
- Hey. Try to do your best.
- Yes, sir.
Good morning,
young master.
Stand up.
Get out!
Bridge of Destiny.
20 years later.
Dad, let me enjoy my childhood, please.
It's summer!
Are you awake?
Are you tired?
I'm fine. I'm glad so
many people have come.
Wait, there's more guests coming.
Hello
Thank you for coming to my grand-opening.
Darling, can you look
after these people for me?
Alright
- Congratulations, Truc!
- Oh my gosh!
You're so lovely.
All the best with your new store.
You're my star customer.
I have this second store because
you've been giving me good business.
Dad!
Can you stand in with Mom?
I'll take a picture for my memory
2,3 …
You're the best!
Congratulations!
Yes! Thanks!
I won.
Move away!
Move away!
Out of my way, sweetheart!
Who is that dyke!?
New chick. Her name is Vy.
Excellent!
Simplicity is this year's trend.
The simpler the classier.
I designed those patterns
especially for you.
Well fit for a bar owner like you.
I'll pay you extra for these two sets
to make up for missing your grand-opening
OK?
Don't worry about it,
I wouldn't take it from a friend.
Alright then.
There're 5 sets altogether. Should
I put them all on the bill now?
My god!
Sure!
Hey,
By the way, I have a niece staying with me.
I'll tell her to come by
and say hello to you later.
Sure!
Look at you!
I'm so jealous of you.
- Why?
- Look at me!
Do you know how much work I have
to put in to look like this?
But you, you can wear a rag
and still look beautiful.
Well, you can always go
for plastic surgeries.
I can't stand the pain.
All those needles scare the crap out of me.
It messes with your mind
to the point that you think
your friend's husband is yours.
It's quite embarrassing
when you and your friend
are like bitches fighting
over the same bone.
I don't mind sharing.
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
Hai
My dear.
Look at my dear boy.
He's got a gold medal.
Oh Hai, you're a star!
What's wrong?
I already told you I couldn't come.
It's not about that, Mom.
Oh! So you're tired?
Sit down. I'll make you some juice.
What's wrong?
Who upset you, my boy?
It's nothing.
Hello!
Hi auntie! I forgot my keys this morning.
Where are you?
I'm at the neighbour's. I won't be long.
OK.
Come on!
That's right!
Come on!
One more, dad!
One more.
It looks good.
We should post this clip to our fanpage.
Fantastic!
Hey,
Cut out the bit when I
get smacked on the butt.
Not a very good image.
- Understand?
- Yeah...
But my phone is so old.
Can you get me a new one?
There's one really good for
taking photos and videos.
It's only about 20 mil VND
- Only 20 mil?
- Yep.
Forget it.
Dad!
Dad!!!
OK, then.
Hi dad!
You let a boy squeeze your butt????
Good luck, dad!
My God!
- Are you OK?
- What do you think?
It hurts like hell,
Mom!
They mess around all the time.
Such a fun family!
Don't they have anything better to do?
I thought you like the boy?
Not at all!
Really?
Let me tell you something.
There's nothing
you can hide from me.
You deserve it!
Water, please
Good business, huh!
Good business, huh!
There're tricks in every trade, my friend.
You should bring your wife here sometimes.
Sure thing!
Hey, there's a photography competition.
Let me register for us.
The phone is so classy just like its owner.
The phone is so classy just like its owner.
Not only classy but also strong.
But how durable is the battery though?
Which battery doesn't run out?
Anyway, you know how many tricks
I had to pull to get this phone?
Loony Vy.
Are you crazy?
Wanna hang out with us?
Hi Loony Vy. Take a seat.
Want to get shoved into the pool again?
Uh... let's chill.
There's a photography competition for
international schools this summer.
The winners
will get a scholarship.
Would you like to join our group?
I have a good phone.
I have skills.
Your job is...
to be our bodyguard.
- Hey! That's a good idea.
- Yeah!
We're getting our body... guarded.
The most important position in the group.
Stop joking around.
OK then.
Where are we going to
set up for the shoots?
Where is not important.
The thing is you've got to be
gorgeous and impressive.
You wanna be impressive?
Go jump in that pond.
- If you want we can jump together.
- Stop it!
So where would be an
impressive place to shoot?
My aunt's bar!
Hey!
You're drooling.
You're in a bar.
Stop jerking and start dancing.
- Cheers!!!
- Nope.
I'm busy.
Hey!
That's my nephew.
I thought you only have a niece.
That's my niece's boyfriend.
- Really?
- Yep.
Too bad. He's off limits.
Hello, darling!
Hey Loony Vy.
Look at this really good looking guy.
He's sitting over there.
Oh my darling!
Are you drunk?
Yeah yeah, maybe.
Thanks.
I don't know what I would
do if you hadn't come over.
By the way, I saw you taking photos of me.
Can I have a look?
We're taking photos for a competition.
I'll delete them if you want.
No, don't.
No, don't. I really like them.
You can take more if you like.
I mean
you can take photos
in my everyday life.
Definitely!
Tu!
My classmate
We found ourselves a model.
A very handsome one indeed.
We're very honoured.
Cheers!
Did I do a good job?
She almost broke my hand.
Good.
I'm not gay!
C & T Love Diary
May 17th 1999. It was
a sweltering hot day...
when I first saw Cuong at the kiln.
I had never felt such a
powerful rush in my veins
From that moment, I knew
I found my soul mate.
You're so beautiful.
Do you love me?
I will marry you.
Thanks to you that I
get to eat with my son.
He usually eats in his room.
Mom!
I can come over every day if you like.
- Me too!
- Don't be stupid.
Who can afford to feed you two every day?
Why? I don't eat much.
Vy's the one with big appetite.
You're right.
I'm only scared of Loony Vy.
Don't say that.
Nonetheless, she's Ms Tram's niece.
It'd be your fault if I
lose Ms Tram as a customer.
It's OK.
What's going on?
Being attacked by the mosquitoes?
No, I'm not.
All of you keep eating.
I've got another dish in the kitchen.
Thank you.
This one is good.
Let me have some more.
Do you want to be whipped or to be fed?
Whipped.
Fed!!!
Ah! I mean whoops, it's hot.
Vy, have some more.
Don't be shy.
Hai, you should have more yourself, too.
Mrs Truc, will you join us?
Eat more...
Don't act naive.
Eat more.
Why are you still here?
I'm looking at the photos.
Look at my model.
He's got very impressive good looks.
I'm confident I'm gonna get first prize.
Wow!
Such confidence.
Let me have a look.
Trung.
Dad,
Dad!
Do you think your son is talented?
Sure.
Do you know the model?
No.
How did you meet him?
It's a secret.
Water again?
Iced Martini
You seem interested in my watch.
It's very nice.
Can I borrow it to have a closer look?
I'm not going give it to a stranger.
You seem interested in my watch.
It's very nice.
Can I borrow it to have a closer look?
I'm not going to give it to a stranger.
Let me introduce myself then.
I'm Thang.
And you?
My name is Cuong
My name is Trung.
Are you alright?
Something wrong?
Something's not right for sure.
So why did you do it?
Truc!
Yes?
Have you and your husband
been intimate lately?
Yes, why?
Ah, I get it now.
Why didn't you just tell me?
We should get you a plumber.
Hey.
What's going on?
Why did you try to cook the salad?
Something wrong?
You can tell me.
Er… I think…
Make sure you keep a close eye on
that handsome husband of yours.
Honey.
Honey!
Hello!
Nothing is impossible.
You must have hope.
I look terrible.
Please don't waste your time on me.
To me, you're always as attractive
as the first time we met.
Job application.
Here are your drinks.
You seem very confident.
Do you think you can charm me as you
did the secretary with your good looks?
I hope so.
Too bad.
I am not at all interested
in your appearance.
However, I'll give you a
chance to prove yourself to me.
I will not let you down.
Dad, have a look these
photos I took recently.
Are they nice?
Here.
Very nice.
Here are more.
See!
This one looks very funny.
Honey.
Your phone is ringing.
Hello!
Hello!
Who's there?
Let's not make any promises
Just love each other till the end.
Let's not be like everyone else.
Don't make promises that we cannot keep.
I'll see you tonight at my house.
I'll send you the address later.
I'm going to the gym.
I've got an appointment
with a V.I.P client.
I'll be home late.
Do you know how to use this thing?
We'll see.
Make sure you hit the mark.
Good evening.
Truc
Truc!?
Truc...
Let it out. Cry if you can.
I don't believe my husband
is that kind of guy.
You want to wait till you
catch them in bed together?
How long do I have, doctor?
Heart failure is an irreversible process.
We can only try to slow the damage
and improve your quality
of life as best as we can.
Just keep in mind that pessimism can
kill you before the disease does.
Do you really love me?
I'm ugly
and I'm dying.
I will always love you.
Nothing will ever change that.
All men say that.
They just don't know that
someday they will change.
I need you to help me with something.
This is my last wish.
Will you do it for me?
I will do anything for you.
There's nothing I need but you.
Mekong Delta - 1999
Good morning, young master, mistress.
Good morning, young master, mistress.
Men,
Who's that?
I think it's the young master's fiancé.
She's just come back from
studying abroad, right?
That's right.
A match made in heaven.
Everyone, show me your hands!
Louder!
11B3
Do you guys see Thang here?
We have chosen 4 groups
to move to the finals.
The first group belongs to
Bui Ngoc Thao, 12A1
Hello!
Are you here, yet?
Sorry. I'm caught up.
Goodluck!
OK.
Thanks.
I'll call you later.
The third group belongs
to Cao Thai Vinh, 12B6.
And the last group belongs
to Dinh Quang Hai, 11B3.
Thank you all very much.
To keep the ball rolling let's take a look
at the works from Dinh Quang Hai's group.
OMG!
Quick!
Come on, quick!
This file is not ours!
I have no idea.
Turn it off!
Hurry up!
Hit escape!
Hai!
Where the hell are you?
Hai!
Hai!
See you in an hour at the bar.
Aren't you afraid that people
might think you're gay?
I'm OK with it as long
as it makes you happy.
You deserve better than
the love of a dying woman.
I will never let go even if you want me to.
I'm willing to sacrifice
everything if that heals you.
Thang, where are you?
I'm sorry.
Hai!
Hai!
Hai, what are you doing?
I should be the one asking questions!
What are you talking about?
I don't understand.
Who is he to you?
Why are you being so rude?
This is my friend.
Apologise to him now.
Your friend?
Or your lover?
Damn you!
Hai!
Why are you hitting our son?
He's got the right to be angry at you.
Look!
Anyone messes with my family
will be properly dealt with.
Don't forget that.
Hai.
Who are you?
How are you in possession
of these keepsakes?
I know a lot more than you think.
If you do what I want the secrets
between you and Trung will be safe.
If not, I will tell all your
secrets to those dearest to you.
I wonder who would suffer
the most in this case?
I think you can already guess.
You set me up.
Does this look familiar?
Do you recognise the writing?
Hai, try not to be sad.
Promise you won't kill
yourself in any circumstances.
Huh!
That's the truth.
Don't be ridiculous!
I'm just saying what I think.
Stop joking around.
What I want is
for him to lose everything.
I have an idea.
C & T's love diary
Cuong, are you going home?
I'm leaving tomorrow.
My mother called.
She said my father is very sick.
Will you come back?
I don't know.
It depends on how family fares.
Promise you will come back.
Please, promise me.
Here's a lucky charm my mother gave me.
I'll leave it with you
as a token of our love.
What's the money for?
It's my saving.
Take it for your father.
Don't you love me?
Stand up!
Here you are, sir.
He dares to seduce my
son and steal from me.
Beat him up!
Stop!
Stop!
Dad, I beg you please.
It's my fault.
I come to him willingly.
Take the young master home.
Dad!
Please, stop beating him.
Leave immediately and never come back.
If I ever see you again,
I swear I will kill you.
Attention! At ease! Ready front!
Trung's dead.
Can you let everything rest?
Please, leave Hai out of this.
What about Ha?
What do you think?
I will see her.
Hey Thang, the rosy cheek boy who goes
around giving pleasures and blows.
What?
Thang, the guy on the 7th floor?
Oh my gosh
He's my idol
Yes. Your instant noodle hair guy
Prick up your ears and listen clearly.
Please take your delivery
Move out of the way.
Can't you see I'm busy watching the fight?
You plan to cancel?
No no I won't.
Just hold on a minute.
I'll take it.
Come on, watch the fight with me.
You come to their company to flirt
with the wife, then you bang the man.
There he is.
What are you all doing?
Stop this immediately!
Or I will sue you.
Everybody,
Don't believe the lying man-whore.
Home-wreckers have no
right to threaten anyone.
Go ahead.
Curse him, brother.
Let me tell you something.
We despise homewreckers.
What a despicable man!
Stop!
Hai,
Are you happy now?
Are you satisfied with the insults?
Don't you think you're
breaking your mom's heart?
You are worried that
I'm breaking mom's heart
But you are doing it most brutally.
- Hai.
- Hai
- Hai.
- Wait for me!
Truc
- Let go of me.
- Listen to me.
Keep your hands off me!
I will tell you everything one day.
Things are not what they seem to be.
Maybe by then it will be too late.
Greetings to the man who
robbed me of my husband.
Are you happy living on my loss and pain?!
I could've had a happy
family just like you.
I'm sorry for indirectly causing you pain.
I can't change the past but I
will try to make it up to you.
How!?
While you are living happily
with your pretty wife
and your lovely child?
I will pull off your mask
for everyone to see.
You shameless douchebag.
Please don't. I'm begging you.
You're such a coward
You have 2 options.
Either you come home and tell
your wife you are not a real man,
Or I will.
I will tell you the truth
Do you know why people say
"young gamblers, old beggars"?
You didn't just gamble, you
had to steal my money, too?
Quit it now!
Why are you laughing? Doesn't it hurt?
Yes, but it's pleasure pain
Stand up
I beg you please forgive Cuong.
On one condition.
My god why?
Do you want to drown us all
in shame for what you did?
Do you want me to die in shame and anger?
Why?
Okay.
Watch. I will die right now to please you
I will die right now
- I will die right here.
- I will marry Ha.
I will marry Ha.
I will die now.
I will marry Ha.
Dad, please!
I will marry Ha.
Keep your words!
I guess you know everything.
If you leave that person,
I will pretend like nothing ever happened.
I can't.
I love him.
I cannot live without him.
But I am pregnant.
Coward!
I will take responsibility for the child
But I cannot marry you.
I will make efforts to
share a part of your journey
But not forever.
I'm so sorry.
Trung
- I'm sorry.
- Trung.
Trung!
Cuong!
Cuong!
Trung!
Cuong!
Cuong!
Trung!
Cuong!
Trung, don't leave me.
Let go of me.
Let go of me.
Cuong!
Trung!
Trung, please!
Trung
Trung
I'm sorry.
No
Trung
Get out!
Get out!
Now.
Ha!
Get out!
I'm here.
How could he...
How could he change in such a short time?
Doesn't he love Mom and me anymore?
I feel like there's more to the story.
Don't jump to the conclusion.
I would never think of him
as my father ever again.
That is easier said than done.
It's never easy to give up on someone,
especially when they are your parents.
I think you should calm down
first and let's see how it goes.
Okay?
Bill please.
Forty thousand.
Young man, is my cooking that bad?
No I'm just full
Why bother coming here if you are full?
You could've just ordered one bowl
instead of wasting the second bowl.
Sorry.
I'll pay for both
You only have to pay for the
one bowl you eat. 20 thousand.
Thank God I have enough.
Here's your 20 thousand.
You're making such a fuss over 20 thousand.
You can pay me back later.
It's ok. Thank you
Alright. Thank you.
Who'd take a girl out on an empty pocket?
Shame on you.
Wanna pick a fight?
Forget it.
You look so gay.
What a faggot!
What do you want?
Good looks doesn't cut
it when you have no money
Where are you going?
What do you want?
Bastards!
The cops are coming.
Run before they catch you.
Rascals!
Earlier
Keep your voice down!
We were lucky that the noodle man was there
You fell over at the most important moment
Yeah. I know.
Thanks by the way.
What are you talking about? We're friends.
Hai, we have something to tell you
Hai
Hai,
I know that you are very upset with what
is happening to our family these days.
We plan to tell you the
whole story when you graduate
But maybe…
Hai
Hai, listen to me.
Hai, Hai.
Hai, calm down.
Please.
Why are you here?
Ha wants to see Trung.
Even in your wildest dreams you never think
this day would come, don't you Mr.Trung?
Oh, I forgot...
Should I call you...
Mrs.Truc?
Even now you still don't
dare to look me in the eye?
What are you talking about?
Your mom
used to be my husband.
There's something I want to tell you.
Trung
is still alive.
He found me that night and we have
been living together until now.
If you didn't love me,
why did you hold my hand?
If you didn't want to marry
me, why did you sleep with me?
If you wanted to leave,
why did you kill our baby?
It was all unintended.
Mom
Mom, you are Trung, aren't you?
Understood.
So I am not your son?
Hai, that's what we wanted
to tell you earlier.
Hai.
[Ha]
- Are you in pain now?
[Ha] This is the pain you caused me
when you destroyed everything I love.
Do you regret loving me?
Now, where do you want to go?
We've been riding around for hours.
Your fare is 200 thousand already.
I have no money left.
Can you take this instead?
I have no change for this?
You can keep it.
I can't contact Hai on the phone.
We need to go find him.
Where on Earth can we look for him?
If you don't want look for
him, I'll go by myself.
So I am not your son?
Hello Vy.
Do you know where Hai is?
I can't contact him.
He turned off his phone.
What's wrong?
Hai's run away.
Please tell me if you have any news of him
What's up?
Hai's run away. No one can contact him.
What happened?
Talk later. We need to find him first.
Quickly.
Let me give you a lift.
But where can we find him?
It's so late already.
What if he runs into a pervert,
that pretty boy would be dead.
I could've helped him if I'm there.
But God knows what happens to him now.
Don't you know how to drive?
You should've avoided me
when I ran the red light
Went against traffic
And cut in on your bike.
What took you so long?
I had to get dressed.
Hurry up
I've been calling him but no one picks up.
What should we do now?
This is bad.
- Wait a minute!
- What?
- Maybe we can check our usual spot?
- Right
- Text Vy to meet us there.
- Ok ok. Hurry up
Hey!
What nonsense are you talking about?
You ran into us in the middle of the
street and now you're scolding us?
Now, what do you want?
Sweet candy gets me high.
Oh baby you are as sweet as a candy.
Oh my gosh. Run. Pervert.
Do you want some candies?
Hey. Are you trying to kill yourself?
Hold on tight.
Help.
Anyone there?
Help!
Hai's there. Pull over.
You pervert.
Let go of him.
Hai
Stand still or we'll both fall.
Hai, he's gonna fall.Vy.
Hai.
Vy's calling.
Hi Vy.
What? You found Hai?
Hold on tight.
Hai
Call someone to help him please.
Vy's over there. Vy
Vy.
- Where's Hai?
- He's fallen into the river.
Soon you'll have to pay for
what you took away from me.
Hai's fallen into the river.
Hai!
- Vy, go get more people to help.
- Yes.
Hai
Hai, breathe.
Breathe
Wake up!
Hai, please wake up.
Uncle,
Hai!
Hai. Wake up, please
Hai, are you ok?

Dad
I'm sorry
Dad, where's mom?
Damn it.
Oh no, Truc is nowhere to be seen
since she jumped into the river.
Truc
Hai

Mom!
Mom.
Call the ambulance.
Truc, wake up
Get the defibrillator ready.
Mom!
Mom, it's me.
Mom
Listen to me.
You are our son.
We had you through surrogacy.
Don't leave us.
It doesn't matter anymore.
The most important thing for me
now is to be with you and Dad.
Please take me for a walk.
What if you get exhausted?
Then you'll carry me.
When you recover, I will
take you around the world.
But I hate the sun.
I will be your shade.
I get hungry easily.
I will bring you food.
I get thirsty quickly also.
Your wishes are my commands.
Name it and I'll get it for you.
Aren't you a good boy?
Darling,
I feel very tired.

Thank you.
Thank you for coming into our life
What about me?
You silly.
Everyone's laughing at you.
How can you envy your own son?
We couldn't have had him without you.
Stop flattering each other.
Everyone, let's raise our glasses
for this special occasion.
Cheers!
Hey guys,
Kiss.
Hey,
Watch and learn from them.
Oh please! Forget about my niece then.
You are such a hostile...
- What did you just say?
- Ah no.
I mean such a host of the party.
Young lady, look at them.
You should get used to it.
Soon there'll be another Mr. and Mrs.
You-Know-Who...
Right?
Vy
Old tricks work better than I expected
Only when they want it to work
Cheers everyone!
Cheers!

Don't worry about it,
I wouldn't take it from a friend.
Alright then.
There're 5 sets altogether. Should
I put them all on the bill now?
My god!
Sure!
Hey,
By the way, I have a niece staying with me.
I'll tell her to come by
and say hello to you later.
Sure!
Look at you!
I'm so jealous of you.
- Why?
- Look at me!
Do you know how much work I have
to put in to look like this?
But you, you can wear a rag
and still look beautiful.
Well, you can always go
for plastic surgeries.
I can't stand the pain.
All those needles scare the crap out of me.
It messes with your mind
to the point that you think
your friend's husband is yours.
It's quite embarrassing
when you and your friend
are like bitches fighting
over the same bone.
I don't mind sharing.
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
Hai
My dear.
Look at my dear boy.
He's got a gold medal.
Oh Hai, you're a star!
What's wrong?
I already told you I couldn't come.
It's not about that, Mom.
Oh! So you're tired?
Sit down. I'll make you some juice.
What's wrong?
Who upset you, my boy?
It's nothing.
Hello!
Hi auntie! I forgot my keys this morning.
Where are you?
I'm at the neighbour's. I won't be long.
OK.
Come on!
That's right!
Come on!
One more, dad!
One more.
It looks good.
We should post this clip to our fanpage.
Fantastic!
Hey,
Cut out the bit when I
get smacked on the butt.
Not a very good image.
- Understand?
- Yeah...
But my phone is so old.
Can you get me a new one?
There's one really good for
taking photos and videos.
It's only about 20 mil VND
- Only 20 mil?
- Yep.
Forget it.
Dad!
Dad!!!
OK, then.
Hi dad!
You let a boy squeeze your butt????
Good luck, dad!
My God!
- Are you OK?
- What do you think?
It hurts like hell,
Mom!
They mess around all the time.
Such a fun family!
Don't they have anything better to do?
I thought you like the boy?
Not at all!
Really?
Let me tell you something.
There's nothing
you can hide from me.
You deserve it!
Water, please
Good business, huh!
Good business, huh!
There're tricks in every trade, my friend.
You should bring your wife here sometimes.
Sure thing!
Hey, there's a photography competition.
Let me register for us.
The phone is so classy just like its owner.
The phone is so classy just like its owner.
Not only classy but also strong.
But how durable is the battery though?
Which battery doesn't run out?
Anyway, you know how many tricks
I had to pull to get this phone?
Loony Vy.
Are you crazy?
Wanna hang out with us?
Hi Loony Vy. Take a seat.
Want to get shoved into the pool again?
Uh... let's chill.
There's a photography competition for
international schools this summer.
The winners
will get a scholarship.
Would you like to join our group?
I have a good phone.
I have skills.
Your job is...
to be our bodyguard.
- Hey! That's a good idea.
- Yeah!
We're getting our body... guarded.
The most important position in the group.
Stop joking around.
OK then.
Where are we going to
set up for the shoots?
Where is not important.
The thing is you've got to be
gorgeous and impressive.
You wanna be impressive?
Go jump in that pond.
- If you want we can jump together.
- Stop it!
So where would be an
impressive place to shoot?
My aunt's bar!
Hey!
You're drooling.
You're in a bar.
Stop jerking and start dancing.
- Cheers!!!
- Nope.
I'm busy.
Hey!
That's my nephew.
I thought you only have a niece.
That's my niece's boyfriend.
- Really?
- Yep.
Too bad. He's off limits.
Hello, darling!
Hey Loony Vy.
Look at this really good looking guy.
He's sitting over there.
Oh my darling!
Are you drunk?
Yeah yeah, maybe.
Thanks.
I don't know what I would
do if you hadn't come over.
By the way, I saw you taking photos of me.
Can I have a look?
We're taking photos for a competition.
I'll delete them if you want.
No, don't.
No, don't. I really like them.
You can take more if you like.
I mean
you can take photos
in my everyday life.
Definitely!
Tu!
My classmate
We found ourselves a model.
A very handsome one indeed.
We're very honoured.
Cheers!
Did I do a good job?
She almost broke my hand.
Good.
I'm not gay!
C & T Love Diary
May 17th 1999. It was
a sweltering hot day...
when I first saw Cuong at the kiln.
I had never felt such a
powerful rush in my veins
From that moment, I knew
I found my soul mate.
You're so beautiful.
Do you love me?
I will marry you.
Thanks to you that I
get to eat with my son.
He usually eats in his room.
Mom!
I can come over every day if you like.
- Me too!
- Don't be stupid.
Who can afford to feed you two every day?
Why? I don't eat much.
Vy's the one with big appetite.
You're right.
I'm only scared of Loony Vy.
Don't say that.
Nonetheless, she's Ms Tram's niece.
It'd be your fault if I
lose Ms Tram as a customer.
It's OK.
What's going on?
Being attacked by the mosquitoes?
No, I'm not.
All of you keep eating.
I've got another dish in the kitchen.
Thank you.
This one is good.
Let me have some more.
Do you want to be whipped or to be fed?
Whipped.
Fed!!!
Ah! I mean whoops, it's hot.
Vy, have some more.
Don't be shy.
Hai, you should have more yourself, too.
Mrs Truc, will you join us?
Eat more...
Don't act naive.
Eat more.
Why are you still here?
I'm looking at the photos.
Look at my model.
He's got very impressive good looks.
I'm confident I'm gonna get first prize.
Wow!
Such confidence.
Let me have a look.
Trung.
Dad,
Dad!
Do you think your son is talented?
Sure.
Do you know the model?
No.
How did you meet him?
It's a secret.
Water again?
Iced Martini
You seem interested in my watch.
It's very nice.
Can I borrow it to have a closer look?
I'm not going give it to a stranger.
You seem interested in my watch.
It's very nice.
Can I borrow it to have a closer look?
I'm not going to give it to a stranger.
Let me introduce myself then.
I'm Thang.
And you?
My name is Cuong
My name is Trung.
Are you alright?
Something wrong?
Something's not right for sure.
So why did you do it?
Truc!
Yes?
Have you and your husband
been intimate lately?
Yes, why?
Ah, I get it now.
Why didn't you just tell me?
We should get you a plumber.
Hey.
What's going on?
Why did you try to cook the salad?
Something wrong?
You can tell me.
Er… I think…
Make sure you keep a close eye on
that handsome husband of yours.
Honey.
Honey!
Hello!
Nothing is impossible.
You must have hope.
I look terrible.
Please don't waste your time on me.
To me, you're always as attractive
as the first time we met.
Job application.
Here are your drinks.
You seem very confident.
Do you think you can charm me as you
did the secretary with your good looks?
I hope so.
Too bad.
I am not at all interested
in your appearance.
However, I'll give you a
chance to prove yourself to me.
I will not let you down.
Dad, have a look these
photos I took recently.
Are they nice?
Here.
Very nice.
Here are more.
See!
This one looks very funny.
Honey.
Your phone is ringing.
Hello!
Hello!
Who's there?
Let's not make any promises
Just love each other till the end.
Let's not be like everyone else.
Don't make promises that we cannot keep.
I'll see you tonight at my house.
I'll send you the address later.
I'm going to the gym.
I've got an appointment
with a V.I.P client.
I'll be home late.
Do you know how to use this thing?
We'll see.
Make sure you hit the mark.
Good evening.
Truc
Truc!?
Truc...
Let it out. Cry if you can.
I don't believe my husband
is that kind of guy.
You want to wait till you
catch them in bed together?
How long do I have, doctor?
Heart failure is an irreversible process.
We can only try to slow the damage
and improve your quality
of life as best as we can.
Just keep in mind that pessimism can
kill you before the disease does.
Do you really love me?
I'm ugly
and I'm dying.
I will always love you.
Nothing will ever change that.
All men say that.
They just don't know that
someday they will change.
I need you to help me with something.
This is my last wish.
Will you do it for me?
I will do anything for you.
There's nothing I need but you.
Mekong Delta - 1999
Good morning, young master, mistress.
Good morning, young master, mistress.
Men,
Who's that?
I think it's the young master's fiancé.
She's just come back from
studying abroad, right?
That's right.
A match made in heaven.
Everyone, show me your hands!
Louder!
11B3
Do you guys see Thang here?
We have chosen 4 groups
to move to the finals.
The first group belongs to
Bui Ngoc Thao, 12A1
Hello!
Are you here, yet?
Sorry. I'm caught up.
Goodluck!
OK.
Thanks.
I'll call you later.
The third group belongs
to Cao Thai Vinh, 12B6.
And the last group belongs
to Dinh Quang Hai, 11B3.
Thank you all very much.
To keep the ball rolling let's take a look
at the works from Dinh Quang Hai's group.
OMG!
Quick!
Come on, quick!
This file is not ours!
I have no idea.
Turn it off!
Hurry up!
Hit escape!
Hai!
Where the hell are you?
Hai!
Hai!
See you in an hour at the bar.
Aren't you afraid that people
might think you're gay?
I'm OK with it as long
as it makes you happy.
You deserve better than
the love of a dying woman.
I will never let go even if you want me to.
I'm willing to sacrifice
everything if that heals you.
Thang, where are you?
I'm sorry.
Hai!
Hai!
Hai, what are you doing?
I should be the one asking questions!
What are you talking about?
I don't understand.
Who is he to you?
Why are you being so rude?
This is my friend.
Apologise to him now.
Your friend?
Or your lover?
Damn you!
Hai!
Why are you hitting our son?
He's got the right to be angry at you.
Look!
Anyone messes with my family
will be properly dealt with.
Don't forget that.
Hai.
Who are you?
How are you in possession
of these keepsakes?
I know a lot more than you think.
If you do what I want the secrets
between you and Trung will be safe.
If not, I will tell all your
secrets to those dearest to you.
I wonder who would suffer
the most in this case?
I think you can already guess.
You set me up.
Does this look familiar?
Do you recognise the writing?
Hai, try not to be sad.
Promise you won't kill
yourself in any circumstances.
Huh!
That's the truth.
Don't be ridiculous!
I'm just saying what I think.
Stop joking around.
What I want is
for him to lose everything.
I have an idea.
C & T's love diary
Cuong, are you going home?
I'm leaving tomorrow.
My mother called.
She said my father is very sick.
Will you come back?
I don't know.
It depends on how family fares.
Promise you will come back.
Please, promise me.
Here's a lucky charm my mother gave me.
I'll leave it with you
as a token of our love.
What's the money for?
It's my saving.
Take it for your father.
Don't you love me?
Stand up!
Here you are, sir.
He dares to seduce my
son and steal from me.
Beat him up!
Stop!
Stop!
Dad, I beg you please.
It's my fault.
I come to him willingly.
Take the young master home.
Dad!
Please, stop beating him.
Leave immediately and never come back.
If I ever see you again,
I swear I will kill you.
Attention! At ease! Ready front!
Trung's dead.
Can you let everything rest?
Please, leave Hai out of this.
What about Ha?
What do you think?
I will see her.
Hey Thang, the rosy cheek boy who goes
around giving pleasures and blows.
What?
Thang, the guy on the 7th floor?
Oh my gosh
He's my idol
Yes. Your instant noodle hair guy
Prick up your ears and listen clearly.
Please take your delivery
Move out of the way.
Can't you see I'm busy watching the fight?
You plan to cancel?
No no I won't.
Just hold on a minute.
I'll take it.
Come on, watch the fight with me.
You come to their company to flirt
with the wife, then you bang the man.
There he is.
What are you all doing?
Stop this immediately!
Or I will sue you.
Everybody,
Don't believe the lying man-whore.
Home-wreckers have no
right to threaten anyone.
Go ahead.
Curse him, brother.
Let me tell you something.
We despise homewreckers.
What a despicable man!
Stop!
Hai,
Are you happy now?
Are you satisfied with the insults?
Don't you think you're
breaking your mom's heart?
You are worried that
I'm breaking mom's heart
But you are doing it most brutally.
- Hai.
- Hai
- Hai.
- Wait for me!
Truc
- Let go of me.
- Listen to me.
Keep your hands off me!
I will tell you everything one day.
Things are not what they seem to be.
Maybe by then it will be too late.
Greetings to the man who
robbed me of my husband.
Are you happy living on my loss and pain?!
I could've had a happy
family just like you.
I'm sorry for indirectly causing you pain.
I can't change the past but I
will try to make it up to you.
How!?
While you are living happily
with your pretty wife
and your lovely child?
I will pull off your mask
for everyone to see.
You shameless douchebag.
Please don't. I'm begging you.
You're such a coward
You have 2 options.
Either you come home and tell
your wife you are not a real man,
Or I will.
I will tell you the truth
Do you know why people say
"young gamblers, old beggars"?
You didn't just gamble, you
had to steal my money, too?
Quit it now!
Why are you laughing? Doesn't it hurt?
Yes, but it's pleasure pain
Stand up
I beg you please forgive Cuong.
On one condition.
My god why?
Do you want to drown us all
in shame for what you did?
Do you want me to die in shame and anger?
Why?
Okay.
Watch. I will die right now to please you
I will die right now
- I will die right here.
- I will marry Ha.
I will marry Ha.
I will die now.
I will marry Ha.
Dad, please!
I will marry Ha.
Keep your words!
I guess you know everything.
If you leave that person,
I will pretend like nothing ever happened.
I can't.
I love him.
I cannot live without him.
But I am pregnant.
Coward!
I will take responsibility for the child
But I cannot marry you.
I will make efforts to
share a part of your journey
But not forever.
I'm so sorry.
Trung
- I'm sorry.
- Trung.
Trung!
Cuong!
Cuong!
Trung!
Cuong!
Cuong!
Trung!
Cuong!
Trung, don't leave me.
Let go of me.
Let go of me.
Cuong!
Trung!
Trung, please!
Trung
Trung
I'm sorry.
No
Trung
Get out!
Get out!
Now.
Ha!
Get out!
I'm here.
How could he...
How could he change in such a short time?
Doesn't he love Mom and me anymore?
I feel like there's more to the story.
Don't jump to the conclusion.
I would never think of him
as my father ever again.
That is easier said than done.
It's never easy to give up on someone,
especially when they are your parents.
I think you should calm down
first and let's see how it goes.
Okay?
Bill please.
Forty thousand.
Young man, is my cooking that bad?
No I'm just full
Why bother coming here if you are full?
You could've just ordered one bowl
instead of wasting the second bowl.
Sorry.
I'll pay for both
You only have to pay for the
one bowl you eat. 20 thousand.
Thank God I have enough.
Here's your 20 thousand.
You're making such a fuss over 20 thousand.
You can pay me back later.
It's ok. Thank you
Alright. Thank you.
Who'd take a girl out on an empty pocket?
Shame on you.
Wanna pick a fight?
Forget it.
You look so gay.
What a faggot!
What do you want?
Good looks doesn't cut
it when you have no money
Where are you going?
What do you want?
Bastards!
The cops are coming.
Run before they catch you.
Rascals!
Earlier
Keep your voice down!
We were lucky that the noodle man was there
You fell over at the most important moment
Yeah. I know.
Thanks by the way.
What are you talking about? We're friends.
Hai, we have something to tell you
Hai
Hai,
I know that you are very upset with what
is happening to our family these days.
We plan to tell you the
whole story when you graduate
But maybe…
Hai
Hai, listen to me.
Hai, Hai.
Hai, calm down.
Please.
Why are you here?
Ha wants to see Trung.
Even in your wildest dreams you never think
this day would come, don't you Mr.Trung?
Oh, I forgot...
Should I call you...
Mrs.Truc?
Even now you still don't
dare to look me in the eye?
What are you talking about?
Your mom
used to be my husband.
There's something I want to tell you.
Trung
is still alive.
He found me that night and we have
been living together until now.
If you didn't love me,
why did you hold my hand?
If you didn't want to marry
me, why did you sleep with me?
If you wanted to leave,
why did you kill our baby?
It was all unintended.
Mom
Mom, you are Trung, aren't you?
Understood.
So I am not your son?
Hai, that's what we wanted
to tell you earlier.
Hai.
[Ha]
- Are you in pain now?
[Ha] This is the pain you caused me
when you destroyed everything I love.
Do you regret loving me?
Now, where do you want to go?
We've been riding around for hours.
Your fare is 200 thousand already.
I have no money left.
Can you take this instead?
I have no change for this?
You can keep it.
I can't contact Hai on the phone.
We need to go find him.
Where on Earth can we look for him?
If you don't want look for
him, I'll go by myself.
So I am not your son?
Hello Vy.
Do you know where Hai is?
I can't contact him.
He turned off his phone.
What's wrong?
Hai's run away.
Please tell me if you have any news of him
What's up?
Hai's run away. No one can contact him.
What happened?
Talk later. We need to find him first.
Quickly.
Let me give you a lift.
But where can we find him?
It's so late already.
What if he runs into a pervert,
that pretty boy would be dead.
I could've helped him if I'm there.
But God knows what happens to him now.
Don't you know how to drive?
You should've avoided me
when I ran the red light
Went against traffic
And cut in on your bike.
What took you so long?
I had to get dressed.
Hurry up
I've been calling him but no one picks up.
What should we do now?
This is bad.
- Wait a minute!
- What?
- Maybe we can check our usual spot?
- Right
- Text Vy to meet us there.
- Ok ok. Hurry up
Hey!
What nonsense are you talking about?
You ran into us in the middle of the
street and now you're scolding us?
Now, what do you want?
Sweet candy gets me high.
Oh baby you are as sweet as a candy.
Oh my gosh. Run. Pervert.
Do you want some candies?
Hey. Are you trying to kill yourself?
Hold on tight.
Help.
Anyone there?
Help!
Hai's there. Pull over.
You pervert.
Let go of him.
Hai
Stand still or we'll both fall.
Hai, he's gonna fall.Vy.
Hai.
Vy's calling.
Hi Vy.
What? You found Hai?
Hold on tight.
Hai
Call someone to help him please.
Vy's over there. Vy
Vy.
- Where's Hai?
- He's fallen into the river.
Soon you'll have to pay for
what you took away from me.
Hai's fallen into the river.
Hai!
- Vy, go get more people to help.
- Yes.
Hai
Hai, breathe.
Breathe
Wake up!
Hai, please wake up.
Uncle,
Hai!
Hai. Wake up, please
Hai, are you ok?
Hai
Dad
I'm sorry
Dad, where's mom?
Damn it.
Oh no, Truc is nowhere to be seen
since she jumped into the river.
Truc
Hai
Truc
Mom!
Mom.
Call the ambulance.
Truc, wake up
Get the defibrillator ready.
Mom!
Mom, it's me.
Mom
Listen to me.
You are our son.
We had you through surrogacy.
Don't leave us.
It doesn't matter anymore.
The most important thing for me
now is to be with you and Dad.
Please take me for a walk.
What if you get exhausted?
Then you'll carry me.
When you recover, I will
take you around the world.
But I hate the sun.
I will be your shade.
I get hungry easily.
I will bring you food.
I get thirsty quickly also.
Your wishes are my commands.
Name it and I'll get it for you.
Aren't you a good boy?
Darling,
I feel very tired.

Today I'd like to thank you for
bringing me into this world,
giving me hopes and joy.
I hope children like me
will be just as blessed.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming into our life
What about me?
You silly.
Everyone's laughing at you.
How can you envy your own son?
We couldn't have had him without you.
Stop flattering each other.
Everyone, let's raise our glasses
for this special occasion.
Cheers!
Hey guys,
Kiss.
Hey,
Watch and learn from them.
Oh please! Forget about my niece then.
You are such a hostile...
- What did you just say?
- Ah no.
I mean such a host of the party.
Young lady, look at them.
You should get used to it.
Soon there'll be another Mr. and Mrs.
You-Know-Who...
Right?
Vy
Old tricks work better than I expected
Only when they want it to work
Cheers everyone!
Cheers!
