Based on the novel by Nguyen Nhat Anh titled 'I See Yellow Flowers Upon The Green Grass,' the film is a collaboration between Galaxy Media & Entertainment, a private company, and the Film Department under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Nguyen Nhat Anh's narrative is intertwined with the childhood and youth of many generations of Vietnamese adolescents. Each mention or rereading brings forth childhood memories. Under the skillful direction of Victor Vu, the novel, awarded the ASEAN Literary Prize, sets a record for publishing by being adapted into a film on its release day. Though only a trailer has been revealed, 'I See Yellow Flowers Upon The Green Grass' is likely to be listed among the most anticipated films of 2015 in Vietnam, both in terms of artistry and emotion.

The film tells the tale of the humble and challenging childhood of two siblings, Thieu and Tuong, in a familiar and poetic Vietnamese village. It's a place that witnessed the early stirrings of both, genuine family bonds, sibling love, as well as jealousy, envy, and the poignant pains of growing up. Under the beautiful and emotionally rich frames crafted by director Victor Vu, 'I See Yellow Flowers Upon The Green Grass' serves as a 'ticket' taking the audience back to a childhood filled with sweetness and bitterness that everyone has experienced.

One aspect impossible to overlook in 'I See Yellow Flowers Upon The Green Grass' is the picturesque depiction of Phu Yen's countryside by Victor Vu—truly beautiful and tranquil. From lush, green majestic landscapes to humble village markets and eerie tree-lined paths, it resonates with the familiar memories of the Vietnamese people. Though unspoken, it evokes countless fond memories. Despite lacking stars and extravagant settings, the story of the innocent lives of poor rural children in the late 80s consumed a production budget that can be considered enormous in Vietnam, reaching nearly 20 billion VND.

Last May, 'I See Yellow Flowers Upon The Green Grass' was acquired by Fortissimo Films, securing the rights to attend the 68th Cannes Film Festival. Victor Vu, commenting on the film, shared, 'I always aspire to make films as if each one is my first, bringing the freshest perspective. I chose 'I See Yellow Flowers Upon The Green Grass' because I resonate with the story—a tale of sibling love closely related to my childhood, bringing back many memories. It leans towards emotions and psychology without any suspense.'

The film is scheduled for nationwide release on October 2, 2015. Christopher Wong is responsible for the film's soundtrack; you can listen and download it directly here. Let's explore the charming and simple images of the film captured in Phu Yen:
