There is a kind of happiness that money or fame can\u2019t buy. It is simple to reach it, but as people grow, it gets harder. Thui, the main character, is a bright orphan in Veitnam. She meets a lonely man and woman while selling flowers on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City and makes them happy with the power of children. This is a heartful story packed with children\u2019s power and that will surely give a good dose of courage to young and old viewers.

\"\"<\/a>The Best Dramatic Festure Award at San Francisco Int\u2019l Asian American Film Festival, Audience Award at Los Angeles Film Festival. Although made with a super low budget, a nomination to the John Cassavetes Award at Independent Spirit Award proves that this is a real kind of independent film that grabs people\u2019s heart across borders. It had a theatrical run in Japan in 2008 under the title of \u201cThe Happiest Place in the World\u201d. *(from NAF Selects)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
