The film is set in Con Dao prison during 1945-1954, where revolutionary soldiers were imprisoned in this “hell on earth” yet remained steadfast and unyielding, holding firm to their aspiration for freedom for the nation.
The story revolves around Tam, a girl who plays the monochord, tasked by the organization to disguise herself as a nurse to care for and support the prisoners, including Duy, a soldier planning an escape and a sea voyage with his comrades.
Music, especially the sound of the monochord, is used as a symbol of faith, hope, and cultural vitality amidst the prison's hardships. The film conveys a message about the value of peace and freedom, earned through the blood and tears of previous generations, while aiming to connect history with today's youth.
The film program at the National Cinema Center during the series includes feature films: Echo Across the Ocean, Aerial battle, Tunnel – Sun in the aarkness, The golden key, The scent of burning grass, and Thau Chin in Siam. The National Cinema Center will distribute free tickets to audiences for these films starting at 8:30 AM on January 31.
In addition to free screenings for audiences at the National Cinema Center, the Cinema Department, in collaboration with Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Film Distribution and Screening System, Cultural-Cinematic Centers, and Cultural-Art Centers in provinces and centrally-run cities, will distribute state-funded films to serve the public nationwide, primarily through mobile screenings, with a separate list of feature films, documentaries, and animated films.
