Star Nhà Ease Festival opens with the rare and much-anticipated Hát Giữa Chiều Mưa (Singing in the Rainy Afternoon), a cinematic gem from 1990 that blends drama, humour, and radiant style. This hidden masterpiece, a hallmark of “instant noodle cinema” is a story of love, music, loss, and resilience, featuring Mai, a young woman who loses her sight in a fireworks accident and must navigate the pain of her father’s thirst for revenge, while holding on to the emotional strength that music offers. The film culminates in a whimsical, moving musical finale set in the rain, a moment of joy and transcendence.
Including a live musical response from Nammy Wams.
This screening is followed by a Q&A, bringing the film’s themes of resistance, rediscovery, and joy into conversation.
Presented by Tuyết Vân Huỳnh. With support from Arts Council England, the British Council Connections Through Culture programme, and the BFI Audience Projects Fund, awarding funds from the National Lottery.
In collaboration with TPD: The Centre for Assistance and Development of Movie Talents, the Vietnam Film Institute and Varan Hanoi.
