As to my film concept, had you watched ‘Since Otar left’ you’d see that my story is much closer to this story than Farewell. Farewell has a cultural component about family hiding a painful truth from their loved ones, especially the elderly. My family is from a Vietnamese background and some incidents’/events in the script actually happened within my family and among my relatives.
Originally, I wanted to tell the story from a cultural perspective, but you are the second person who alerted me of the fact that shoud it get onto the big screen it would be certainly compared to Farewell, which is a high bar to reach, especially in term of production value.
My story is very different from Farewell, and I do not wish it to be considered as an adaptation of another’s. So, I am seriously considering making this story a non-Vietnamese story. I’ll emphasise on the universal complex family relationship and the extend to which family members go to shield one another from painful reality, which might end up hurting them one way or another.
We’ll see how things go. Thanks again for your thoughtful comments.

Thank you for your comments. The protagonist is the sister and the mother also plays the main supporting role.
The story is about a close family who is very protective of the mother. All characters in the story are adults and the mother is elderly and emotionally fragile. Her son is her pride and her life, sort to speak.
When the son dies from a car accident while the mother is overseas, the family decides not to tell her – hence the elaborate scheme to keep her in the dark – because they fear she’d not survive the horrific news. But the mother begins to question the stories and bogus evidence the daughter shows her to make believe the son is still alive. She suspects that something might have happened to him and starts her own investigation.
This story is reminiscent of the French/Georgian film ‘Since Otar left’ or the American film ‘The Farewell’ where the family hides painful truth from their elders. This practice is prevalent in the Asian culture but rarely in the Western culture.

Would she rather not get into the agreement but have to because she is afraid of her father?
