Program Note

Hoàng is a 30-something playboy with looks, big house, nice car and a dream job. His life motto is “one-night-stand only,” but “never a girlfriend.” Everything changes when he spends a night with Linh Dan, a 17 year-old girl seeking a true love.

Program Note

As one of the most successful yoga teacher in Saigon, Hoang lives in a magnificent house and rides expensive open sports car. He is a playboy who is a sucker for pretty women. If there’s one thing he hates more than death, it is a serious relationship instead of a one-night stand. However, his life takes an unexpected turn because of falling into a trap set up by a seventeen-year old girl. It was certain that Lindan, who is a third-year high school student at the international school, was going to take the prom queen and king title on the prom night. However, everything changed after she saw a video of her good-looking and athletic boyfriend kissing a cheerleader. She promised to take revenge and decided to go out with a mature older man who will make her ex regret. It seemed like everything was going as planned, but… Director Le Thanh Son had already made a successful feature film about a female killer as the main character called Clash (2009). After 8 years, he racked up millions of dollars with this new romantic comedy movie. He also found new faces for the main and supporting roles, especially Kaity Nguyen, who won the Best Actress Award at the 2017 Vietnam Film Festival, is actually 18 years old and a promising actress to look forward to.
