Part 8 of “Lat mat” is set mainly in Binh Thuan, Ninh Thuan – a place with a lot of wind, sand and sunshine. In which, there are 3 big scenes that the male director devotedly made, including the scene of a flood, a large concert (with thousands of spectators) and a wartime bombing scene (filmed in the Coconut Forest – Binh Thuan). Regarding the film’s message, Ly Hai said: “I believe that no matter what you do, where you are, who you are, how old you are, or in any situation, when you are happy, joyful, defeated, or disappointed in life, the most important thing is to share, a hug that can soothe, a strong shoulder, a warm embrace that will make you feel protected and loved” . In this project, director Ly Hai and his wife – producer Minh Ha will also appear with a role in the film.

At the showcase, nearly 10,000 audiences were moved when watching the 10-year journey and the OST songs associated with each part of the movie “Lat mat” performed by the actors. In particular, the OST “Lat mat 8” was introduced to the audience for the first time, with performances and choreography from the young actors in the movie. The highlight was the appearance of Cherry Hai My – the daughter of Ly Hai – Minh Ha. Not only causing a fever with her attractive beauty, inheriting many of her mother’s beautiful features, a beautiful face, big round eyes and a bright smile, the singing and dancing ability of the girl born in 2013 was also highly appreciated.

At the end of the program, the organizers also called on nearly 10,000 spectators at the event to create a “Ring of Sunlight and Love”.
