At the screening, many viewers could not hold back their tears while enjoying Bao gio cho den thang Muoi . The Organizing Committee said that the film screened at the opening ceremony was a digitized version taken from the Fukuoka City Community Film Library (Japan), so the quality is very high.
When will October come? tells the story of Duyen (Meritorious Artist Le Van) - a wife who went to visit her husband fighting in the Southwestern border but heard that he had died. She hid the news of her husband's death from her family and neighbors so that her old and weak father-in-law would not collapse at the death of his two sons on the battlefield.
The film won the Special Jury Prize at the 1985 Hawaii International Film Festival and was named one of the 18 best Asian films of all time by CNN.
