The ongoing film festival June 29- July 11 in Manila, the Philippines aims to honour new cinematographic works and talented filmmakers around the world.

‘Yen’s life’ tells a story about Yen who is a lovely rural girl, has to marry Hanh- a nine-year-old boy- when she’s 10 years old. It emphasises the virtue of traditional Vietnamese Women. It is also considered a lively diary about life and destiny of Vietnamese women in the past, their sacrifices and strengths to overcome all difficulties. The film touches upon early marriage and destiny of rural Vietnamese women before 1945.

Five major awards of the 19th Vietnam Film Festival in 2015 were also given to the film, including Silver Lotus Awards, Best Actress in leading roles, Best Cameraman, best production design and best soundtrack.
