The veteran female artist brings the image of a gentle, lovely grandmother filled with love for her children and grandchildren.
With an unperforming acting style, Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong depicts a close, cheerful, and profound grandmother through her unconditional love for her family.
The grandmother of "Flip Side 8" has an unfinished dream from her youth: Becoming a beauty queen.
However, in the context of fierce war and old society limiting opportunities, as well as lack of confidence, dreams do not come true.
She puts her hope in her children and grandchildren, hoping that they can fully pursue their dreams, something she has not had the opportunity to do.
The optimistic soul and open heart of the grandmother became a great source of motivation, adding strength for Tam (Doan The Vinh) and Phuc (Hong Thu) to conquer their dream of becoming idols despite being banned by their parents.
The life of the grandmother is a series of harsh challenges. She experienced the tragedy of losing her husband during the war, becoming a single mother in poverty, raising Hien ( Meritorious Artist Tuyet Thu) alone during difficult days.
However, she has never given up or blamed her fate. Even when her child was suffering from a bomb scar, was "illiterated" and was away from friends, she still loved her child unconditionally, always a strong spiritual support.
That love does not stop at the younger generation but also spreads to Tam.
For Tam, her grandmother is a dedicated companion on her journey to pursue her dream. She stayed up late and woke up early, meticulously preparing clothes and luggage for Tam to participate in the contest...
What is special about her is her absolute trust in her nephew. Although Tam faced difficulties or doubts from others, she never stopped or doubted his dream. She has repeatedly stood up to protect Tam, using her gentleness but steadfastness as a shield for her grandchild...
The grandmother in "Flip Side 8" is the embodiment of boundless love, not calculating, not demanding. For her, the happiness of her children and grandchildren is the greatest joy. She does not care about the big houses or money like mountains, just seeing her children and grandchildren living their dreams and living together in peace is enough.
Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong shared: "Previously, the audience often reminded me of the roles of a committee member and a villain. When I participated in the film Lat mat 8 this time, director Ly Hai changed my role image with an extremely playful and cute and humorous grandmother".
