HCM CITY — Actor, singer and director Hoàng Minh Phi screened a second short film he made based on the parenting concerns of single mothers in HCM City on Tuesday.

A rural woman in the heart of Saigon screened at the Café Nest in the Bitexco Tower, was also meant to mark Vietnamese Women’s Day, October 20, and the launch of a project called "Let me go around the world with my child!" to provide  education for children and women through travelling.

Phi had made the successful Mother’s heart last year.

The new film is about a woman who chose single motherhood after she could no longer tolerate the lack of respect from the man whom she wholeheartedly trusted.

It focuses on the struggle of the woman to raise her daughter alone.

The woman is played by Trương Ngọc Minh Đăng, a beauty queen, entrepreneur and the founder of the educational project.

The film was inspired by her real-life true story.
