Scent of Pho

Tradition and modern life collide in this comedy centered on pho, the iconic Vietnamese dish.

When the owner of the neighboring restaurant dies, Mui has to look inward. He needs an heir to take over his pho shop, but his son is more interested in his terrible paintings. His son-in-law is interested, but Mui feels he is not close enough to the family to take over such an important family business. So he chooses his grandson, who is passionate about cooking. The problem is that the boy’s mother plans to move south with the whole family and has no interest in staying just for the sake of the pho shop.
