The film “Peach, Pho and Piano” was selected to attend the Oscars.

Previously, the Department of Cinema received an invitation from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - AMPAS to send a feature film representing Vietnam to participate in the preliminary round of the 97th Oscar for the "International Feature Film" category in 2024 in Los Angeles, USA.

The Department of Cinema has widely announced on its website (cucdienanh.vn) about submitting films to register for the selection of Vietnamese films to participate in the Oscar preliminary round from August 9 and received 4 films registered to participate including: "Dao, Pho and Piano", "The Price of Happiness", "Lat mat 7: Mot uoc" and "Mai."

On September 23, the National Council for Film Selection to Participate in the Preliminary Round of the International Feature Film Awards - Oscar (2024 - 2025) worked and discussed, selecting the film: "Peach, Pho and Piano" (produced by Feature Film Joint Stock Company 1) to represent Vietnam to participate in the preliminary round.

The film “Peach, Pho and Piano” is a work by screenwriter and director Phi Tien Son, with an investment of 20 billion VND, ordered by the Cinema Department (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) and produced by Feature Film Joint Stock Company 1. The film is inspired by the 60-day and night battle in late 1946 and early 1947 of the Hanoi army and people “Determination to die for the survival of the Fatherland."

The film tells the story of the passionate, romantic love between the self-defense soldier Van Dan (played by Doan Quoc Dam) and the young lady of Hanoi Thuc Huong (played by Cao Thuy Linh). They overcame difficulties and dangers to find each other again on the last day of the war (February 17, 1947), when our army withdrew to the war zone and entered a long-term resistance war.
