By being broadcast on VTV, "Dao, Pho and Piano" has the opportunity to reach a wider audience, especially those who have not had the opportunity to enjoy the film in theaters.
“Peach, Pho and Piano” was released in theaters during the Lunar New Year and immediately created a box office fever for many weeks. This is the most successful movie ordered by the State in history when theaters continuously had to increase the number of showings, and tickets were bought during the first days of the pilot screening at the National Cinema Center in Hanoi.
The film was written and directed by Phi Tien Son. The film depicts the fierce and heroic moments in the 60-day and night battle of the army and people of Hanoi Capital (1946-1947), in the last days before our army withdrew to the Viet Bac resistance base. The soldiers of the Capital Regiment fought with the spirit of "Determined to die for the survival of the Fatherland".
