Forced into marriage at a young age due to the ethnic Mong’s tradition, Páo grows up and falls in love for the first time.

The story is inspired by the very personal story of the director’s close friend.

“I want to send my thanks to the festival organisers for giving me a chance to show my work,” Dat said at the awards ceremony. “I also thank my family and people who support me in filmmaking.”

Dat has been studying at the Hanoi Academy of Theatre and Cinema since 2020 majoring in screenwriting.

During the five-day festival, local audiences had a chance to enjoy a wide range of Vietnamese and international films. Outdoor screenings attracted thousands of people.

Vietnamese movie Bo Gia (Dad, I’m Sorry) won the People’s Choice Award at the Vietnamese Contemporary Movie Programme.

The Philippines took an early lead in Tuesday’s game thanks to a penalty awarded in the 11th minute after Vietnamese goalkeeper Tran Thi Kim Thanh fouled a Philippine striker in the box. Vietnam struggled to create scoring opportunities before finding an equalizer in the 41st minute, when goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel failed to catch a cross from defender Nguyen Thi My Anh and let Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy net on the rebound.
