Writing
A wealthy bourgeois covers up his rape of a village woman, but the event soon cascades into the destruction of his own family.
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.
A group of children orphaned during the American bombing raids is sent to a small school in the countryside. Here, the children continue their education, all while learning how to deal with grief and find joy in daily life again.
