Bành Mai Phương

Returning home from their touring opera troupe, actress Lanh has a rendezvous with her now-married former boyfriend, Phong, while leading-lady Xoan is about to be replaced by an understudy because of her pregnancy.

Thu lives in a village near the river with Lan, her single mother working as a fruit seller. Thu befriends a boy in the village, Đăng, who lost his mother at a young age and is thus mainly raised by his grandparents. As the two children bond, they find in each other the parental figures they have been longing for.
