Trịnh Mai

Love on the Verge of Ruin

Dumb Luck

The sexually repressed widow Doan comes to play tennis in the court where sly, lewd orphan Xuan (nicknamed Red-haired Xuan for his sunburnt hair) is working as a ball boy. Their encounter that day would change Xuan's life forever, as the widow introduced him to an entirely different world of the hypocritical and decadent petite bourgeoisie class, a condition of "Westernized" middle-class Hanoians under French colonial rule in the 1920s. An 8-part series adapted from Vu Trong Phung's classic satire.

Laughter Epidemic

A director pays a visit to a hydroelectric plant construction site and gives a grandiose speech on the impending glory of its opening. His exaggerated body language soon becomes a running gag among the workers who pass around the rumour that he might have dropped the diamond ring during the speech, which the director ironically - and wholeheartedly- believes.

Delusions

The Pot From A Past Life
