The teaser shared by the crew is less than a minute long but is built with a fast and dramatic pace. The opening is the image of Tai (Mai Tai Phen) sitting eating dinner simply by the roadside, evoking the everyday feeling of a worker making a living.
The quiet atmosphere is quickly broken when he receives a debt collection call, demanding payment in a short time. This situation puts the character in an emergency situation and opens up a series of next events.
The film's pace is sped up with the image of a pocket containing a lot of foreign currency, creating questions about the origin of the money. Tensions increase when Tai's family is threatened, showing that his choices not only affect himself but also lead to consequences for his loved ones.
The villain Ma Lang (Ray Nguyen) appears with violent actions, depicting the pressure that Tai has to face.
The teaser also dedicates a moment of silence to depict the relationship between Tai and his mother - Mrs. Phuc (Meritorious Artist Hanh Thuy). The image of a hard-working and exhausted mother partly explains the motivation that makes Tai willing to take risks to earn money.
Dialogues about mother's time and child's responsibility create emotional highlights, raising questions about the boundary of right and wrong in personal choices.
In the final seconds, a mysterious girl appeared with a familiar voice, raising many speculations about the role of this character. The crew confirmed that it was a role played by My Tam, marking the notable presence of the female artist in the project.
Besides the content, the teaser shows investment in the Mekong Delta setting with characteristic river scenes and rhythm of life. The cast including Mai Tai Phen, Meritorious Artist Hanh Thuy, Ray Nguyen, Vinh Rau and other faces are expected to create an emotional story.
According to the producer, the movie "Tai" exploits the theme of family, financial pressure and the consequences of personal choice, expected to premiere from March 6, 2026.
