Len Huong" has just released a trailer, revealing images of Hong Dao in the role of Mrs. Mui - a sharp, cold and calm coffin farm owner, along with a "quick response team" performing special tasks in the funeral industry.
The trailer opens up a tense atmosphere with arguments, tears, hospitals and funerals. Behind these images is the story of characters facing choices related to money, family affection and personal interests.
The starting point of the story is Tam (Vo Tan Phat) - a duck delivery guy - who suddenly became attached to the job of "sleeping in the coffin to pray for luck" after meeting Mrs. Mui (Hong Dao) - the coffin owner. From here, Tam and his friends and acquaintances around participate in funeral work such as makeup for the deceased, blowing horns at funerals, making decorative flowers...
The line "One Dream - Life Changes" appears in the trailer revealing a turning point that disrupts the lives of the characters. The work that seems to bring money opportunities leads to unpredictable upheavals, and at the same time, things that have been hidden for many years are gradually revealed.
The trailer does not give a clear answer about what actually happened but puts the character in situations to choose from. A sum of money can solve immediate problems but can also open up other troubles. A decision to protect oneself can hurt loved ones.
According to the crew, "Len Huong" does not build a simple contradiction between right and wrong, good and bad. The characters all have reasons to act, what they want to protect and their own limits.
With the role of Mrs. Mui, Hong Dao brings a different image from familiar roles. The character is a strong-willed poultry farm owner, with a lonely and tired look when having to shoulder the burden to maintain the family's profession.
Hong Dao shared that before, when she saw a coffin, she often thought of death. However, after participating in "Len Huong" and contacting funeral service providers, the actress has a different perspective on the profession. According to her, the funeral organizers contribute to bringing peace and relief to both the deceased and the survivors. The movie "Len Huong" also marks the 3rd time she has collaborated with director Khuong Ngoc.
Vo Tan Phat in the role of Tam was also asked by director Khuong Ngoc to almost completely change his familiar image, from skin color to riding a motorbike to suit a young working man. The male actor said this is the most psychologically deep role he has ever played.
“Len Huong” was co-directed by Khuong Ngoc and Tan Hoang Thong, bringing together Hong Dao, People's Artist Hong Van, Meritorious Artist Tuyet Thu, Vo Tan Phat, Ha Anh, Quoc Khanh, Thieu Lan and many other actors.
The film belongs to the psychological, family genre, and is scheduled to be released nationwide from September 18.
